Employment law has become a fast growing and increasingly complex area of law. The battleground between employee and employer rights has seen many changes over recent years which have affected whether employees can sue for unfair dismissal and have changed how employment tribunal claims are decided. Unless lawyers keep fully up to date with changes in the law they may make costly mistakes.
If you consulted a lawyer to pursue a claim against an employer, you were entitled to expect them to give you the best advice and help with your claim. But if things weren’t handled properly, you may have lost out. If your claim was unsuccessful due to your lawyer’s negligence, you may have a second chance through Redress – contact us today to discuss your options.
Examples of employment solicitor’s negligence
Employment law is a complicated area and requires experienced professionals to give employees the best possible advice towards a favourable outcome. The following are just a few areas where a solicitor can provide incorrect advice or be guilty of professional negligence:
- Missing the time limit for lodging a claim; generally 3 months in an employment tribunal
- Failing to properly investigate and advise upon the claim for damages
- Conducting the hearing poorly e.g. failing to properly question the other side’s witnesses
- Failing to understand your case and put forward all relevant details
