Employment law support
Know where you stand at work
Whether you're facing dismissal, reviewing a contract, or dealing with discrimination, we research the law, explain your position, and help you understand your options — clearly and affordably.
Employment disputes can feel overwhelming, especially when you're up against an employer with in-house legal resource. Before you take any action — or accept any offer — you need to understand your legal position.
ATS Legal provides targeted employment law support for individuals: legal research, contract reviews, plain-English explanations, and drafted correspondence. We give you the information and documents you need to make informed decisions and engage with confidence.

Unfair dismissal
If you've been dismissed and believe it was unfair, we research the legal test, examine whether your employer followed a fair procedure, and explain what a tribunal would consider — including time limits and how compensation is calculated in law.

- Assessment of procedural compliance by your employer
- Research on tribunal process, time limits, and how compensation is calculated
- Plain-English summary of the legal position and options available
Discrimination claims
If you've been treated less favourably because of a protected characteristic — age, disability, race, sex, religion, or others — we research the applicable law and explain how it applies to your situation, including what the Equality Act requires.

- Assessment of protected characteristics and treatment

Redundancy & settlement agreements
Facing redundancy or been offered a settlement agreement? We research whether the process followed legal requirements, explain what the law says a fair offer looks like, and set out your statutory entitlements — including redundancy pay, notice, and any enhanced terms.

- Review of settlement agreement terms
- Research on statutory redundancy pay, notice entitlements, and what the law requires

- Assessment of restrictive covenants and enforceability
- Explanation of notice, variation, and termination clauses
- Written summary of key points and areas to consider

We draft letters, grievances, responses, and counter-proposals that are clear, legally grounded, and appropriate in tone for the situation.
