Employment Law Services for Employees in Brighton
If you are an employee facing a workplace issue, our Brighton Employment Lawyers can help you understand your rights and make informed decisions. We regularly advise employees, senior executives, directors and professionals on employment contracts, settlement agreements, redundancy, dismissal, workplace discrimination, whistleblowing, disciplinary allegations, grievances and restrictive covenants.
Settlement Agreement Solicitors Brighton
If your employer has offered you a settlement agreement, you will need independent legal advice before the agreement can become legally binding. Our Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Brighton can explain the terms, advise on whether the compensation package is reasonable, identify any restrictive covenants or confidentiality obligations, and negotiate improved terms where appropriate. We aim to make the process clear, efficient and commercially sensible, particularly where there are urgent deadlines.
Unfair Dismissal and Constructive Dismissal Advice
If you have been dismissed, forced to resign, placed under pressure to leave or treated unfairly at work, it is important to seek employment law advice as early as possible. Strict time limits usually apply to Employment Tribunal claims, and early advice can help you understand whether you may have a claim for unfair dismissal, constructive dismissal, wrongful dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing detriment or breach of contract.
Workplace Discrimination, Harassment and Whistleblowing Claims
Our Employment Lawyers advise employees on discrimination and harassment claims involving protected characteristics, as well as whistleblowing claims where concerns have been raised about wrongdoing. These cases can be highly sensitive and evidence-led. We can help you assess the strength of your position, prepare correspondence, engage with internal procedures, negotiate settlement where possible and pursue Employment Tribunal proceedings if required.
Concerned about your position at work? If you have been offered a settlement agreement, dismissed, placed at risk of redundancy or treated unfairly, contact Elite Law Solicitors in Brighton for clear advice from experienced Employment Lawyers before taking your next step.

Employment Lawyers Brighton: Frequently Asked Questions
When should I contact Employment Lawyers?

What should I bring to an initial consultation with an Employment Lawyer?
It is helpful to bring your employment contract, staff handbook or relevant policies, correspondence with your employer or employee, any settlement agreement or dismissal letter, notes of meetings, relevant emails and a clear timeline of events. This allows your solicitor to assess the key facts quickly and provide focused advice.
Can you help with employment law advice for senior executives and directors?
Yes. We advise senior executives, directors and professionals on complex exit negotiations, service agreements, bonus disputes, restrictive covenants, confidentiality obligations, garden leave, board-level disputes and reputationally sensitive workplace matters.

Yes. Employers can instruct Elite Law Solicitors for one-off advice or ongoing employment law support. This can include contract reviews, policy updates, HR process guidance, risk management advice and assistance with workplace disputes before they escalate.
Can you advise before a workplace issue reaches the Employment Tribunal?
