Workplace issues can be stressful, time-consuming, and emotionally draining.

Whether you’re worried about a contract, facing redundancy, or involved in a dispute, you need clear advice from people who know the law and have your best interests at heart. At Burley Law, we specialise in guiding individuals through employment situations – always aiming for solutions that are fair, practical, and cost-effective.

Our Services in Detail

1. Advice on your employment situation

Whether you need advice and support with your contract of employment, grievance or disciplinary processes, whistleblowing, or redundancy, we focus on finding a practical and cost-effective way forward.

What this includes:

Reviewing your employment contract before you sign
Advising on grievance and disciplinary procedures
Guidance on whistleblowing cases
Redundancy consultation support

Why it matters:

The right advice at the right time can help you avoid costly mistakes and protect your position.

2. Settlement agreements

If you’re offered a settlement agreement by your employer, you’ll be asked to take independent legal advice – and we can provide that advice. We’ll guide you through negotiating an exit that protects your interests now and in the future.

What this includes:

Reviewing and explaining settlement terms
Negotiating fair financial and non-financial terms
Ensuring the agreement doesn’t limit your career options
Fast turnaround to meet employer deadlines

Why it matters:

Settlement agreements can close the door on disputes – but only if the terms are right for you.

3. Help with legal disputes

We represent individuals in employment tribunals and other legal disputes. We understand that this process can be daunting, so we’ll be by your side from the first step to the final decision.

What this includes:

Tribunal claim preparation and representation
Mediation and settlement negotiation
Support with discrimination, harassment, and unfair dismissal cases

Why it matters:

Having an experienced legal team in your corner increases your chances of the best possible outcome.

4. Workplace rights guidance

Knowing your rights at work is the first step to protecting them. We’ll explain what you’re entitled to – and what to do if those rights aren’t respected. Whether it’s pay, hours, discrimination, or parental leave, we’ll help you understand where you stand and how to act.

What this includes:

Your rights as an employee or worker
Pay, holiday entitlement, and working hours advice
Maternity, paternity, and parental rights guidance
Support with discrimination, harassment, or unequal pay

Why it matters:

When you know your rights, you can act early and prevent issues from escalating.
