Our team of employment specialists provides expert advice to both employers and employees on discrimination law, covering the full range of protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 including race, sex, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief, and age.
Discrimination law is highly complex and, with no cap on compensatory awards, employers face significant financial consequences if a claim is successful – as well as the risk of reputational damage. For individuals who experience discriminatory treatment, including harassment, it can be a deeply traumatic experience.
Our lawyers offer clear, proactive advice to help mitigate the risk of claims, including developing the right policies and procedures and providing quality training to your managers and workforce.
We also advise on the new duty for employers to prevent sexual harassment. For more information see our prevention of sexual harassment toolkit.
