Specialist Pregnancy & Discrimination Solicitors for Employees
Take back your Power Confidence Clarity
Helping you get the outcome you deserve
Discrimination during or after maternity leave robs people of their power, their confidence and their peace of mind.
We have a team of experienced and passionate solicitors & legal experts who fight daily for people just like you to put the power back in their hands.
You are not alone and you don’t have to feel alone anymore. Powerful change doesn’t come in a tidal wave; it comes with individuals just like you standing up and saying that enough is enough. Today is the day you take action, change your circumstances and pursue the outcome you deserve.
Have you ever felt like...
- Attitudes towards you changed when you announced your pregnancy?
- You had to apologise for your maternity leave?
- Your job may not look the same when you return to work?
- Someone is waiting in the wings, ready for you to "just quit"?
- Your qualifications are suddenly under scrutiny despite having a long work history?
Our Client's Story
“It wasn’t about the money. When I was let go by my former employer simply because of my pregnancy I was just so devastated that someone could act like that and just wanted them to realise they can’t treat people in this way”
