Equality, Diversity & Discrimination

The right actions can help protect your reputation, financials, and day-to-day operations in the event of a claim.

We’ll help you understand and meet your obligations and foster an inclusive workplace. 

The Equality Act 2010 sets out nine characteristics such as age, race, pregnancy and gender that protect people from being discriminated against at work. Your business could face costly tribunal claims if your employees’ conduct, your policies or business practices discriminate against certain employees. 

We act for businesses across every sector, guiding you through issues such as bullying claims, unequal treatment, diversity policies, and unfair dismissal. By combining legal expertise with practical business understanding, we secure your position while helping you build compliant and fair workplace practices.

We can support with:

• Defending discrimination and harassment actions
• Shaping fairness policies, audits, and training
• Managing grievances and disciplinary procedures
• Reviewing recruitment, pay, and organisational practices for compliance
• Handling proceedings at tribunal or through settlement agreements.

You also gain long-term advisers who understand the pressures of running a business in your industry, helping you keep up with change while safeguarding your workforce and reputation.
