When to contact us

We recommend clients get in touch at the early stages of any dispute. In this area of law strict deadlines are applied for the bringing of a grievance to court. Getting advice early removes the risk of missing out on a remedy and, for example, can allow for more informed decisions to be made as to whether action should be taken by Judicial Review or in the Sheriff Court under the Equality Act.  Experience also shows that early intervention can help resolve matters, through proactive dialogue or, in some cases, mediation.  

Where there is the potential for a dispute, we advise getting in touch to discuss the options available to you at the earliest opportunity.
