Employment Law BARRISTER

Have you been dismissed within the last three months? Do you think your dismissal was unfair? Are you still employed but feel you are being pushed aside? Have you been made the subject of disciplinary or capability procedures for no good reason?

My name is David Mawdsley. I am a public access barrister specialising in unfair and constructive dismissal cases. I was called to the Bar in 1995.

Unfair dismissal can arise in a variety of situations. For example, you may have been unfairly selected for redundancy or been the victim of an unfair disciplinary procedure. You may have been discriminated against or victimised for having done a 'protected act' such as reporting sexual harassment.

Constructive dismissal arises when an employee resigns because of the way they have been treated. If an Employment Tribunal finds that the employer's conduct was so unfair as to repudiate the contract of employment, the employee will be deemed to have been constructively dismissed.

Most claims settle without either party having to attend a tribunal, although a claimant often has to issue proceedings before a settlement is reached. Settlements can amount to thousands of pounds and include a positive reference to help relaunch a claimant's career.

If you have worked for your employer for more than two years and believe you may have an unfair dismissal or constructive dismissal claim, please email me for free initial advice. You must act quickly as a claimant must usually bring a claim within three months of the cat complained of.

I operate on a no-win, no-fee basis. If your claim has merit, I will aim to negotiate a settlement on your behalf or, if a settlement cannot be reached, represent you at the Employment Tribunal. My fee is 25% of any settlement or award.
