Disciplinary
Advice
Being invited to a disciplinary meeting, especially where
you haven’t done anything wrong, can be a stressful
and upsetting experience. It can lead to untold worry about
job security and damage the trust and confidence you have
in your employer.
Often, a preliminary chat with one of our team to explain
your rights and draw up a strategy for dealing with internal
procedures can pay dividends.

For this type of work, unlike other firms, we do not offer a free
half an hour appointment, principally because half an hour is usually
completely inadequate for dealing with such a complex and important
issue such as a disciplinary or grievance. Instead, we offer an
initial appointment for a fixed fee that is unrestricted in time
so that we are not under any constraints and as much time as is
necessary can be devoted to getting to the bottom of your problem.
This gives us the opportunity to explore the options and offer you
that advice that actually makes a difference.
Representation for professions at disciplinary hearings
Two recent cases in the Court of Appeal have confirmed that professionals
(meaning any employee who is subject to the control of a regulatory
body) have the right to request legal representation at internal
disciplinary proceedings where the outcome may affect the future
their career.
Our employment team were one of the first in Lincolnshire to take
advantage of this new and important rule. At a time when it really
matters, getting the best representation can mean the difference
between keeping a career and losing it. Our team will put you in
the best position possible whatever the circumstances.
