Our client was employed as a teacher and made redundant purportedly on the basis of her qualifications. She initially bought the claim herself and acted in person as she could not find a firm to assist. We took the case over, reformulated it, and won at the final hearing. We believed that many of the representations made were false and so conducted our own research and contacted parties unconnected to the proceedings for evidence to support this. The trial judge shared our view, allowed our extra evidence to be admitted, and the case has been reported on the employment tribunal website.

“When Amit stepped in and agreed to represent me at the Employment Tribunal I was ill, depressed, and had lost had lost both my self- esteem and confidence as a result of the treatment I was subjected to by my ex-employer. Amit had brought my case to an absolute victory on both, financial and moral grounds. Amit and his team worked incredibly hard and, when needed, almost around the clock on the faultless and strong presentation of my claim for unfair dismissal, which resulted in winning my complicated case. He approached my matters with understanding and sensitivity to my situation and came up with a feasible payment plan . Amit demonstrated great negotiating skills, while expertly strengthening my case with a mitigation statement and bundle before the remedy hearing and achieved a settlement beyond my expectations. Winning this case has given me a new lease of professional life, imbued with a wonderful feeling of justice being served. My voice has been heard. I feel very grateful to Amit and his team"

Our client was personally referred to us. She had been sexually assaulted at work and disbelieved about the incident by her employers who then spent significant sums of money attempting to defend the claim using more than one firm of solicitors. Despite this, we protected our client from the aggressive correspondence to ensure her terrible experience was not further exacerbated and the claim settled for a near six-figure financial sum.

​

“I received a very caring and personal service from Atkinson Rose.  They cared about me as a client and worked hard to achieve the very best results.” 

Our client worked in a small take away shop in Leeds. She was harassed and then dismissed when new owners took over the shop and we bought a claim for an automatically unfair TUPE dismissal. The claim went to a tribunal hearing and our client was awarded a large sum of money (approximately one year’s salary) along with her tribunal fees. We also argued that it was unfair for our client to have had to pay legal costs to bring the claims and the tribunal agreed and also awarded her an award for our legal fees. Her feedback is below:

“Excellent. I could not have asked for anybody better to help me. I would recommend this firm. Worth every penny. Eirwen was impressive as was Amit. I can’t say thank you enough.”

Our client was on a work trip abroad where her manager acted in a sexually inappropriate manner with her and another following the consumption of alcohol. Both employees resigned and our firm represented one whilst the other used a different firm. We bought claims for sex harassment and entered into bullish negotiations for a sum without the need for a tribunal hearing. Eventually our client settled for more than 3 times the amount that the other employee settled the claim for despite the circumstances surrounding the resignations being identical.

“I received a great service from Atkinson Rose LLP, I would highly recommend Amit as he was very helpful and efficient with great advice in assisting me with my case.”

Our client contacted us after her employers failed to contact her whilst she was on maternity leave and then attempted to make things difficult when she attempted to return. Hostile meetings took place where salary cuts and demotions were discussed. It became clear that our client was no longer welcome back to the company because she had taken maternity leave and so she resigned. We bought claims for constructive dismissal and discrimination against the company and the individuals involved in the harassment.

​

" I struggled to find a firm to take my case no win no fee however Atkinson Rose took me on and successfully settled my claim. During what was a stressful and emotional time, Amit demonstrated compassion and patience and took the time to explain the procedures in a way that I understood. I am delighted with the outcome and would recommend Atkinson Rose without hesitation."

Our client was employed by an IT company where senior members of staff used offensive, derogatory and racist language. She eventually resigned due to the behaviour and we bought claims of discrimination and harassment not only against the company, but also against the individuals who engaged in the discriminatory behaviour. We achieved a very favourable outcome without the need for any tribunal hearing.

​

“This was a very stressful time for me and I do not like confrontation so I really appreciated Amit understanding that I felt out of my comfort zone when it came to the legal process and the possibility of going before a tribunal. He took control and negotiated a settlement on my behalf without me having to keep reliving the whole ordeal. Thank you Amit”

Our client worked for a local authority and was dyslexic and was subjected to various criticisms in respect of her performance which ultimately led to her resigning. We argued that her employers failed to make reasonable adjustments in respect of providing appropriate auxillary aids, equipment, and working requirements which led to the perceived performance issues and resignation. Our firm also made the appropriate necessary adjustments in respect of taking instructions and ensured that the tribunal would also do the same. In any event, the matter settled for a very favourable sum without the need for a final tribunal hearing.

“This experience has not been easy for me due to the nature of my case, however, the team at Atkinson Rose have created a service where I was free to make contact with any questions or problems I had. It was evident that they had taken the time to fully understand my case and even me as their client. I would fully recommend their services, no matter what your need is. They have proved themselves as a competent and reliable company. Thank you very much for all your support.”

Our client pointed out fraudulent activities to his employers and was subjected to various detriments as a result. He eventually resigned due to the behaviour of his employers and we bought claims for whistleblowing and constructive dismissal. We also argued that the condition of Crohn’s disease amounted to a disability which meant that our client was further protected by the Equality Act which exacerbated effects of the detrimental behaviour. The case settled for a favourable sum at judicial mediation.

“I found myself having to leave employment after almost 10 years with my employer - due to a lack of care and failure to offer reasonable adjustments surrounding my disability.  Atkinson Rose took my case on and worked with me to ensure I received everything I deserved and needed to start my life again - Thanks Atkinson Rose!"

Our client bought a claim in person and was then unhappy with the legal advice received from another firm. We took the case on and reformulated the entire case. The client suffered from prostatitis which we argued amounted to a disability to be covered under the Equality Act. We then bought discrimination and failure to make reasonable adjustments claims in respect of the rigid absence reporting mechanisms for time off. The claim settled on favourable terms without the need for a final hearing.

​

“Amit and the team that worked with him were very calm and helped when I was in need of advice and representation. Although it was difficult for me personally,  as I was extremely attached to the case - Amit's calm nature helped to give it structure and the team working on the case seemed to be able to look at things from my perspective."

Our client was called to appear before a panel following a criminal conviction for assault. We represented her throughout the fitness to practice proceedings and successfully defended her against the ban sought, which, if granted, would have prohibited her from working within the industry again.

​

"A very honourable service that stood up for me and helped me to understand what I previously couldn't. I cannot describe how happy and delighted I am for achieving such a fantastic outcome. I also cannot describe how grateful I am to you, Nik and Lauren taking the trouble to help me. I would highly recommend your services to family and friends."

Our client was offered a role which was later rescinded due to the potential employers discovering that she had previously undergone counselling for depression some years ago. We argued that the previous condition amounted to a disability and bought claims for discrimination and breach of contract. The claim settled for a favourable sum without the need for a final tribunal hearing.

“At a time when I was really stuck and in need of support and direction, Atkinson Rose was able to provide me with a service that was above and beyond my expectation. Without their support it would have been difficult for me to achieve a way forward. The service was flexible and accommodating to my needs which empowered me but most of all what I appreciate is that they believed in me."
 

Our client was employed by a nursery for less than two years and, as such, had been turned away by previous law firms who were unwilling to assist. She injured herself at work and was dismissed allegedly due to the time off taken to nurse the injuries sustained. We took the position that the dismissal was in part due to the complaints about the accident which amounted to whistleblowing. The case settled on favourable terms which allowed our client to continue to pursue a personal injury action despite having obtained a sum for financial losses arising from the dismissal.

“I am very grateful for the services provided by Amit Patel and his team. They were extremely helpful from day one when nobody else seemed to want to help. My case was a tricky one as I was on my probation period when being dismissed and this meant the laws did not apply, however, Amit understood my dilemma and found a way to help. They went the extra mile at all times, even maintaining communications out of hours to ensure we were on top of everything.

Amit Patel is definitely somebody who has a true passion for helping people and he will be my first point of contact in the future in regards to any legal issue”

Our client was employed by an estate agent business in West London for under two years and was belittled and subjected to discriminatory comments based on her race. Her employers made a veiled threat of dismissal after she raised a grievance and so she took the decision to resign.

We bought claims for harassment, discrimination and victimisation not only against the company but also against the individuals who made the discriminatory remarks. The claim settled on favourable terms to our client which included substantial payment and an agreed reference. This is despite her not having been employed for at least two years (and therefore unable to bring a conventional constructive dismissal claim). Our client also walked into a new job and did not suffer much financial loss. Her feedback is as follows: 

​

"Amit has given my case consistency from start to finish, he kept me updated at all times and if he didn't call, he would always email. Overall, I would recommend him and his team to anybody that I may come across who may need a lawyer to represent them. They are a team of nothing but excellence and I feel thankful that because of them my case was settled out of court with a great settlement offer."

Our client worked for a large media firm in London and upon her return from maternity leave she reduced her hours from full time to part time. As time progressed she performed work at a senior level despite her job title not officially changing to reflect this. A redundancy process was carried out which included our client and we contacted her employers before this completed. We put forward that our client would not have been pooled with the less senior workers had she not gone on maternity leave and therefore this was discriminatory and rendered the entire process unfair. 

We entered into negotiations with the employers whilst our client remained employed and she eventually entered into a settlement agreement which included a large five figure sum which was significantly more than initially offered. The matter was dealt with amicably, it included a very good future reference and our client was not required to attend any of the stressful redundancy consultation meetings.  Her feedback is below: 

​

"As soon as I had Mr Patel of Atkinson Rose by my side, I felt that I was in safe hands and able to deal with a very unpleasant situation. He was always calm, measured, supportive and reactive, helping bring the situation to a positive and amicable close. Thank you!"
  

Our client was a Muslim female working for a Nursery in South East England and was subjected to various discriminatory comments and actions directed towards her religion. She eventually resigned after finding a new role but was then dismissed during her notice period as an act of retaliation. A dismissal for gross misconduct in this field would have precluded her from being able to work with children again in the future.  

We bought claims for discrimination along with both constructive and unfair dismissal and our client obtained a sum of money (despite suffering minimal losses having walked into a new job) and a reference for future employers which did not make any mention of the dismissal.   Her comments are below:

​

"The advice I received from Mr Patel and his team was very professional from beginning to end. Mr Patel was efficient and offered me quality advice at each step of the process.  I never had to keep chasing him as he kept me updated by email or phone."

Our client was based in Rugby and employed by a Government agency. A new line manager was employed who constantly found fault in her work and subjected her to various warnings and disciplinary procedures. Our client was eventually signed off with stress part way through another disciplinary meeting for alleged gross misconduct and she then contacted us. We came on record and identified the various flaws of the allegations and unfairness of the disciplinary procedure. We pointed these out during negotiations with her employers whilst she was signed off sick and we obtained a sum broadly equivalent of which she would have received if she had resigned or been dismissed and taken her employers to an employment tribunal. Our client saved the time, costs and stress of a tribunal and also received a reference. Her feedback is below:

​

“The strengths of Atkinson Rose were your location and your knowledge of law.

Amit, you were very compassionate to my situation, your advice was very clear and precise but still allowed me the ability to make my own decisions. You were familiar with my circumstances right from our first conversation , which reassured me that you had taken the time to read my case. I was completely satisfied at being guided by your knowledge and the limits within the law. 

​

I feel extremely fortunate to have had you recommended to me and used your service whilst in a very unpleasant situation and would highly recommend Atkinson Rose. “

​

​

Our client was employed in central London as a general manager for a nationwide restaurant chain and was responsible for overseeing other members of staff. He was used as a scapegoat following an incident and then dismissed on the ground of gross misconduct. A negative reference would have precluded him from working within the catering industry again. We bought a claim for unfair dismissal and our client obtained a sum of money along with an agreed reference where the employers agreed not to mention the dismissal to future employers. Our client’s feedback is below:

“Atkinson Rose led by Amit Patel took on my complex case on and did a great job with the process from beginning to end with a great outcome. I strongly recommend Atkinson Rose to anyone who has an employment case. Once again, a big thank you for your help.”     

Our client was employed as a restaurant manager for a fast food chain. Her manager bullied and harassed her and raised unnecessary complaints about her punctuality and performance at work. Our client eventually resigned due to this behaviour and we claimed constructive dismissal. Our client obtained a monetary sum along with an agreed reference that would not mention any of the unwarranted performance issues to future prospective employers. The feedback is as follows:

​

“I found Amit to be very thorough and conscientious in dealing with my case. I was guided every step of the way in a very professional manner. He put a lot of time and effort into helping me with drafting statements and considering what my options were as the case progressed. I really appreciate what he did for me and wouldn’t have received the positive outcome I did without his help. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending or using his services again.”

Our client was offered a settlement agreement by his employers and required it signed and completed on the same day which also coincided with the tube strikes. We agreed to cap our fees to the amount his employers were prepared to pay and dealt with the matter swiftly and at a convenient location. His feedback is below:

“I loved the fact that you were extremely flexible for my last minute request. I needed assistance and wanted to resolve everything on the same day that I contacted you. Even with the tube strike starting, we found a time and place to meet up and to cover my request.

Very pleasant conversation and very clear understanding and explanation of the documents that we went through. Thanks!”

Our client was employed as a night shift worker in a factory and diagnosed with cancer. His employers would not allow him appropriate time off for either medical appointments or for recovery time following his treatment. They then commenced disciplinary action against him after he had made complaints about the way he was being treated. Our client resigned prior to receiving an outcome to the disciplinary process and we bought claims for constructive dismissal, a failure to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate his disability, harassment, discrimination, victimisation and a claim under the Working Time Regulations due to the number of hours he worked. He obtained a large monetary sum and his feedback is below:

“Atkinson Rose has aided me in a matter that I couldn't find help with anywhere else. I was guided through each step of the process in a professional, informative and down-to-earth manner. At all times I was under a strong impression that the firm has their clients' best interests at heart.”

Our client was engaged through an agency to work within a factory. She had been worked there for less than two years, became pregnant and was subsequently dismissed on allegations of poor performance. She initially brought the claim in person before we took over.

Objectively, the statistics did show that our client’s performance fell below those of other workers and employees, however, we successfully argued that the statistics of the employer were unreliable after inspection. We brought claims for pregnancy related discrimination and settled the claim without the need for a tribunal hearing for an amount equivalent to nearly a year’s salary. Our client’s feedback is as follows: 

​

“They have character and are good and understanding people. When they take up a case they work and get involved as if they were their own personal situation.  As lawyers, they are a very professional team and they helped and encouraged me enormously.  Thank you very much.”

Our client was employed by a large company and diagnosed with dermatitis which made it increasingly difficult for her to perform her role satisfactorily and she was eventually dismissed on the ground of ill-health capability. She was a member of a trade union who declined to help her on the basis that her claim was not strong enough for their own solicitors to assist. We disagreed with this opinion and took the case on a no win no fee basis.

We argued that the condition amounted to a disability under the Equality Act and bought claims for unfair dismissal, a failure to make reasonable adjustments and disability discrimination. This was on the basis that the employers could have made adjustments that could have made it easier for our client to remain in her job and perform her role more comfortably. 

The employers conceded that the condition amounted to a disability and the claim eventually settled for a significant sum of money with the employers also agreeing to provide a reference for future employers. 

​

"Thank you for your services regarding my case. Even though my own union solicitors had let me down twice, you had the patience and professionalism to proceed and bring my case to a successful conclusion. Atkinson Rose listened to me were others would not and I would recommend them to all my family, friends and acquaintances."

Our client was employed as a part time recruitment consultant for a medium sized company in Wembley. She was asked to work full time hours which she was unable to work due to childcare commitments and was then eventually dismissed on the ground of redundancy. We bought claims of sex discrimination and unfair dismissal. Our client obtained a monetary sum and a reference for future employers. Her feedback is below:

“Excellent service received. Very impressed with the confidence and expertise of Amit. Amit was very helpful and efficient, due to which, great results were achieved. I am very grateful for all the assistance I received and would recommend Amit without hesitation.”

Our client was employed as a retail assistant by a large retail store in Central London. She was dismissed on the grounds of her perceived poor performance after various disciplinary meetings that coincided with her period of fasting for religious observance.

​

We bought claims of race discrimination and unfair dismissal and our client obtained a monetary sum and a reference for future employers. Her feedback is below:

​

“When I thought I had hit a brick wall and wouldn't find anyone who would be willing to represent me no win no fee; Atkinson Rose LLP came through in time and took my case on. 

​

Real people who we see everyday in our lives my not have the money to hire a solicitor to represent them but my experience with Atkinson Rose LLP has given me hope and affirmation that there is always someone out there who is willing to help and support you."

Our client was employed by an international restaurant chain as a front of house manager based at Feltham. She was sexually harassed by her line manager and raised a grievance about this behaviour. Her employers failed to take appropriate action and so she resigned. We bought claims for sex discrimination, harassment and, constructive dismissal. She obtained a monetary sum and her feedback is below:

​

“Amit has been amazing and very helpful. I cannot thank him enough for the help and support he has given me. He has been very professional and friendly. Thank you for the amazing service which you have provided.”

Our client worked as a PA and was subjected to a campaign of sexual harassment and advances by her male manager. This included him asking her to attend weekend trips abroad and strip clubs. He also bought her a dress and asked for her to send him pictures of her in it.

After our our client made it clear that she was not interested in him, the manager treated her differently, to include changing her job role, which eventually led to her dismissal on the ground of redundancy. 

​

We bought claims for sex discrimination and harassment, arguing that the redundancy was a fraudulent process and that our client had been victimised for turning down the advances. The matter settled for a large sum without the need for any tribunal hearing. Our client also received a reference for future employers and her feedback is below:

​

“I have had a great experience in settling my case with both Amit and Emma. I could not thank them enough for the professional and caring service at all times, even out of hours!

​

When I was looking for help, this was my third phone call with a solicitor when needing advice on my matter. When speaking to Amit he made me feel confident in progressing the matter- did not judge the situation at all.”​

Our client had been employed for less than two years and was dismissed for performance related issues. We brought a claim on the basis that she should have been protected due to her anxiety and depression. 

​

We argued that the employers had failed to make reasonable adjustments relating to the depression such as  suitably discussing the disability in light of the performance issues, providing regular supervision, and implementing a process to minimise workplace stress. The Claim settled for a considerable sum, and our client’s feedback is as follows:

​

“Atkinson Rose dealt with my case in, not only a professional way, but in a friendly and informative way. They offer their clients continued support throughout the whole process. An absolute pleasure to work with and highly recommended. Supportive, friendly and professional.”​

Our client initially bought a claim in person and we took over after she contact our firm following a difficult preliminary hearing. We amended her claims and gained permission to bring those deemed out of time. The claim revolved around a mental health disability which meant that our client had memory problems which had an impact on the quality of her work and punctuality.  Her employers failed to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate those issues.  They also failed to give her time off or discretionary sick pay due to the fact that she was a part time employee.  

We bolstered her claims and steered the proceedings to judicial mediation where a very favourable outcome was reached. 

​

"Atkinson Rose have won my case, they provide specialist quality documentation and an excellent service to represent myself in court. They always make time to speak to me."

Our client was a self-employed personal assistant to a businessman in central London. He made inappropriate and sexually charged remarks to her and our client resigned without notice. We bought claims for sex harassment, sex discrimination and loss of wages. Our client obtained a large monetary sum and referred other people to our firm Her feedback is below:

​

“Received a brilliant service from Atkinson Rose LLP, had a great experience as a client with Mr Amit Patel. Over all this law firm is highly recommended. “   

Our client worked without a contract of employment for a small spa and following her return from maternity leave, was advised that her role was no longer available. We bought claims for unfair dismissal and pregnancy and maternity discrimination and achieved a very favourable outcome without having to have a final tribunal hearing.

“Thank you to Amit for his knowledge and expertise. He explains everything so clearly. Very professional and efficient.”

Our client was employed by a butcher in Central London and was dismissed following allegations of theft. We identified various deficiencies in the dismissal process and advised our client to reject the offers made. We convinced the employer not to continue to defend the claim and the matter proceeded to a remedy hearing where our client was successful in obtaining a very large sum, including an ACAS uplift, to reflect the procedural flaws we had identified.

​

“Great service throughout the case.”

Our client was personally recommended to us and worked for a large pharmaceutical company. He resigned following an assault at work and alleged that he had been subjected to various detriments following his complaining about the incident. The matter settled without the need for a final hearing despite the employers taking an aggressive approach to the claim.

​

“Amit is a very reliable and confident person and has the best interests for the benefits of his clients. The team was very efficient, intelligent and also very professional.”

Our client was employed by retail store in Mayfair and was dismissed for drinking a glass of alcohol on the premises to celebrate the birthday of a colleague. Regardless of what the staff handbooks stated, we argued that the practice was a common and accepted one and, in any event, identified many mistakes made during the disciplinary and appeals process to make it procedurally flawed. The matter settled on favourable terms without the need for a final tribunal hearing which included a reference which allowed our client to secure new employment.

“Friendly and helpful” 

Our client worked as a carer for a home which was taken over by a new owner. She was subsequently dismissed on allegations that she had shared her log in details, a practice which had been common and accepted prior to the takeover. We bought claims for unfair dismissal and achieved a favourable result.

“Atkinson Rose were very professional and very reliable in every way. They were helpful and the advice they gave me was excellent.”

A receptionist for a GP practice submitted a claim form in person and approached our firm for help prior to the hearing. We took control and re-formulated the case appropriately ensuring that an emphasis was placed on negative appraisals and unwarranted threats of disciplinary action which led to a resignation. The claims were for constructive dismissal and age discrimination and we took a firm and effective approach in negotiations to achieve a favourable settlement outside of the tribunal.

“Professional, always contactable, realistic and honest. Thank you”

Our client worked for an independent school in Surrey and raised grievances against other employees due to bullying and comments made in relation to his race and religion. His employers failed to properly investigate the complaints and rejected these grievances. 

Our client did not wish to resign in order to bring a claim due to the uncertainty of finding a new job in the current economic climate so we therefore bought a claim whilst he remained in employment and advised on the best way of submitting new grievances. 

The matter eventually settled for a sum amounting to slightly under a year's salary without the need for a final tribunal hearing.

​

"I had a lot of support and guidance from the firm which was essential to winning my employment case. It made me feel  more confident knowing  that I was not alone but had people backing me up which made me more determined to fight my ground."

Our client was employed by a large, national telecommunications company and was made redundant following her return from maternity leave. We argued that suitable, alternative roles were available to our client and should have been offered to her. Further, she would not have been made redundant had she not taken maternity leave. We bought claims for unfair dismissal and pregnancy and maternity discrimination and achieved a very favourable outcome without having to have a final tribunal hearing.

“Great service, very thorough and easy to deal with. A great result, thanks.“

Our client was referred to us by another solicitor’s firm due to our specialism in this area. He had raised various health and safety concerns to his employers who responded by shouting and swearing at him along with subjecting him to other detriments including having holiday requests refused. Our client eventually resigned, and we brought claims for constructive dismissal and whistleblowing.

The case settled for a significant sum without the need for any tribunal hearings, and our client’s feedback is as follows: 

“Atkinson and Rose assisted on my employment tribunal case for constructive dismissal. The case was handled in a speedy manner and the outcome was reached in a matter of months of instructing Amit and his team. Strength of the service: the case was moved forward and pushed at a speedy pace. We had a positive experience with the friendly telephone calls from Emma who explained, elaborated, answered our questions, and was also supportive throughout.”

Our client was dismissed for using his mobile telephone at work. We argued that other employees had used mobile phones within the workplace employees for many years, and it was therefore taken as a common and accepted practice within the workplace. We also identified discrepancies with the investigation and disciplinary process and brought a claim for unfair dismissal. 

The claim settled, without the need for any tribunal hearing, for an amount of in the region of three times that our client had lost during the brief period that he was unemployed.  Our client’s feedback is as follows: 

“Very quick to help with my claim and totally professional from our first phone call. Great communication and updates all the way through my case via email and post as well as a phone call if required. Totally great service. Everything was great all the information and updates were sent to straight away. Just keep up the excellent work that you and Emma do.”

Our client was engaged as an agency worker within a warehouse. His employers were unreasonable in respect of a back injury and there were also issues surrounding his requests to schedule breaks around prayer times. We brought claims for constructive dismissal, disability discrimination, and a failure to make a reasonable adjustment in relation to our client’s back injury. We also bought claims for harassment and discrimination relating to the issues surrounding the prayer times. 

We settled the claim for an amount exceeding our client’s annual salary, without the need for a tribunal hearing. Our client’s feedback is as follows: 

“I'm very pleased with the service provided by Atkinson Rose. The firm maintained good communication, exceptional manners and provided detailed advice throughout, preparing all the necessary documents. Giving me a voice and a platform to be heard and for that I am forever grateful.

Atkinson Rose is committed and professional. I would highly recommend them.”

Our female client worked within the oil and gas industry and discovered that she had been paid a significantly lower salary than her male comparators. We brought equal pay and discrimination claims on the basis that there should be equal pay for equal work done, regardless of sex. The claim settled for a large five figure sum, despite the client finding new employment within a very short period of time following her leaving. Our client’s feedback is as follows: 

“Constant and professional support. Atkinson Rose and their team guided me and helped me to endure the process until a satisfactory result was reached.”

Our client was employed as a welder for company in Cambridgeshire. He developed sciatica leading to pain in his lower back and became unable to perform the type of work or the hours that his employers wanted him to. He was eventually dismissed on the ground of redundancy and we brought claims for disability discrimination and unfair dismissal. He obtained monetary sum and a reference for future employers. His feedback is below:

“Very clear from the start with what is expected, your terms and money. You are very calming always caring and very thorough with your work. Very happy with the service and the outcome.”

Our client was employed as a driver and diagnosed with cancer which meant he required time off for medical appointments and recovery. He worked overtime when he was able to but his employers took the decision to withhold the overtime pay to be offset against time he may require off in the future. Our client eventually resigned and we bought claims for discrimination, constructive dismissal and unlawful deduction from wages. He obtained a five figure sum and reference and his feedback is below:

​

"Excellent service that I would not hesitate to recommend, very calm, knowledgeable and understanding."

Our client was employed within the public sector and dismissed following an incident in his personal life which led to his arrest. We argued that the dismissal was substantively unfair, and that conclusions were arrived at on the basis of misinformation and circumstances that were unrelated to our client’s employment. We argued that our client’s private affairs had no impact on his work, nor did it affect his ability to perform within a professional capacity. We also highlighted various procedural deficiencies. 

The matter settled for a significant sum along with an agreed reference, thus securing our client’s future employment despite a dismissal on the ground of gross misconduct. Our client stated as follows: 

“Your services are so professional and I am happy I came to you.”

Our client was employed by a large financial institution and as was the subject of various allegations which she strongly contested. Her employers commenced an unfair disciplinary process which she felt was one-sided and so resigned prior to it being completed. We bought a claim for constructive dismissal and the matter was settled on favourable terms including a reference which secured our client future employment which may not have been the case had she been dismissed. Our client said of our firm:

​

"Atkinson Rose LLP is reliable, affordable and efficient. I have been very pleased with the  work they undertook on my behalf."

Our client occasionally worked from home and was dismissed following her employer undertaking a review of hours. It deemed that our client had not properly recorded the occasions that she was working from home, and concluded them to be unauthorised absences. 

We undertook a forensic examination going back a number of years to prove that the records of the employer were in fact incorrect. We also argued that the procedures were fairly fluid and our client had been working additional hours from home which should have been taken into account; and that the school had failed to properly specify the working from home arrangements within their disciplinary policy. 

We settled for an amount equivalent to approximately one year’s salary, along with a written statement of regret from the employer. This was despite our client having found new employment very shortly after the dismissal.  The feedback is as follows:

"It was a relief to know that Amit had read my case documents and could see clearly that my employers were wrong in their treatment of me."

Our client was employed by a large multi-million pound International property services company based in Central London. It was clear that the employment relationship had come to an end and Our client wanted to leave with reasonable severance pay but was keen to avoid having to issue an ET1 claim form or go to an employment tribunal. We came on record and successfully negotiated a generous settlement agreement which included a reference. Our client left on good terms and avoided the hassle that can sometimes come with bringing a claim. He said of our firm:

​

"I was looking for fast and professional closer on my case which Atkinson Rose provided.”

Our client was employed in South London by a large Governmental agency. He was dismissed on the ground of gross misconduct for a mistake made by another employee who worked under him. During the process he was offered a junior role with a lower salary to remain in the agency which he refused to take. We bought a claim for unfair dismissal and Our client obtained a monetary sum along with an agreed reference. His feedback is below:

“You get a quality service and backed up by a very professional team.” 

Our client was employed part for a company in Berkshire. She was made redundant which she believed to be unfair and based on the fact that she could not work full time hours due to looking after her children.
