College Chambers has a well-established practice in this frequently contentious and rapidly changing area of law. Members of Chambers regularly appear in Employment Tribunals, the Employment Appeal Tribunal and the Court of Appeal. One of our Counsel, Gary Self, sits as judge of the Employment Tribunal on a regular basis and is described in the Legal 500 as "very good, one of the best on the Western Circuit for employment".
We act on behalf of both employers and employees. Our clients range from individual employees and directors to major private and public sector organisations. We have particular specialism in Public Authority and Police cases. Our clients have a diverse range of requirements and many seek assistance with employment-related matters. This enables Chambers to draw upon its experience in personal injury law, in particular advising on stress at work, harassment and bullying claims.
All aspects of individual and collective employment law work are undertaken. This includes work relating to:
- All forms of discrimination
- Equal Pay
- Industrial Relations and Trade Union affairs
- Directors disputes
- Injunctive relief
- Breach of contract
- TUPE transfers
- Unfair and Wrongful Dismissal
- Working Time Regulations
