Discrimination In The Workplace
Our team of Employment Solicitors can advise on discrimination in the workplace. This can occur when an individual is treated less favourably than another. Even where an employer had no intention of discrimination against an individual, the effect of an action and/or decision may be held to be discrimination.
Cases of discrimination can be highly complex, so it is essential to obtain expert advice at the outset. People who use Myers Lister Price Solicitors are often distressed about what has happened to them and the employer is often equally upset by an allegation of discrimination. We offer a sympathetic approach coupled with a sensitive understanding of our clients’ needs be they employers or employees.

- Age Discrimination
- Gender or Sex Discrimination

Our specialist team of Employment Solicitors can give companies/the employer step by step guidance in dealing with matters relating to discrimination including:
