We provide advice and representation to employees on the following areas of employment and discrimination law:

Mediation

We encourage employers and employees to consider other ways to resolve disputes. One of these ways is for parties to consider mediation. The presence of a mediator will often lead to a better understanding being achieved between the parties. Damaged working relationships can often be repaired through such a process. Even if the end result is a termination of employment, mediation can provide scope for such a termination to be facilitated more quickly, less expensively and on terms which are acceptable to both parties.

Most of our clients work throughout Scotland including Aberdeen, Ayrshire, Cumbernauld, Dundee, East Kilbride, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Lanarkshire, Livingston and Stirling.
