Resolving Employment Disputes

Dealing with employment conflicts at an early stage will save time, money and stress later on, for both the employer and employees, and will stop the situation developing into a full-blown dispute.

Birkett Long has a dedicated team of employment dispute solicitors who offer clear and practical advice on the difference between a matter which is winnable and one which is merely arguable. This ensures that you will receive the best possible advice on whether to proceed in the first instance.

Conflicts in the workplace take many forms. It might be an individual with a grievance, a problem between an employee and a manager, or a clash between two co-workers. Any conflict can get in the way of work and make your business less productive.

Some of the issues that can cause conflict between individuals and groups at work include:

  • ineffective management of performance
  • unfair treatment
  • unclear job roles
  • poor communication
  • poor work environment
  • lack of equal opportunities
  • bullying and harassment
  • unresolved problems from the past
  • an increase in workload

A dispute can be inevitable in a business that is actively managed, and if it does result in an employment dispute and slugging it out in court, then we will agree a deliberate case strategy and will fight your corner using our extensive experience of the Employment Tribunal and High Court judicial systems.
