EMPLOYMENT LAW — UNFAIR DISMISSAL SUPPORT

Dismissed unfairly. Pushed out. Or forced to resign.

We can help you respond properly.

Whichever of these describes you, the right response depends on where you are in the process, not how serious things feel. Answer a short set of questions and this calculator identifies what you need and gives you an exact fixed fee before you commit to anything.

Most unfair dismissal claims must start ACAS early conciliation within 3 months less one day of your dismissal or resignation

If you are close to this deadline, or your appeal window is within the next 5 days, you can still complete the assessment below. Your matter will simply be flagged for priority review and we will call you to confirm the right approach.

Workplace appeal letter support for employees challenging disciplinary, grievance or dismi
Unfair dismissal does not always look the way you expect it to.

Sometimes it follows a formal disciplinary process that felt predetermined from the start, a hearing where the outcome seemed decided before it began. Sometimes there is no process at all, just a sudden decision handed to you with no proper warning and no real opportunity to respond. And sometimes you are never formally dismissed at all. Instead, the way you are treated, the workload, the exclusion, the pattern of conduct, makes your position genuinely untenable, and resignation starts to feel like the only option left.

​

All three of these are serious, and all three have a document that puts your position on record properly: an appeal, a formal letter challenging the process, or a letter that protects a constructive dismissal position before or shortly after you resign. The right document depends entirely on which of these describes you, which is exactly what the first question in the assessment below is designed to establish.

​

Many people arrive here not sure whether what has happened to them even has a name. That uncertainty is common, and it is not a barrier to getting help. If you are still not sure after reading this page, the assessment lets you say so, and routes you straight to a conversation instead of a document.

What connects all three situations is timing. Dismissal appeals typically have a short window, often five to ten working days from the outcome letter. Constructive dismissal positions can be weakened by delay, since waiting too long after the final straw can be treated as acceptance of what happened. And every route toward an employment tribunal claim is governed by a strict time limit: ACAS early conciliation must generally begin within three months less one day of your dismissal or resignation.

​

None of this is a reason to rush into the wrong document. It is a reason to find out, quickly and properly, which document is right for your specific situation, and to get it drafted to a standard that puts your position on record clearly enough that it cannot be ignored.

"The first question is not what happened. It is where you are in the process. Everything else, the document, the deadline, the strategy, follows from the answer to that."

Use the assessment to find out what you need and what it costs. There is no obligation to proceed afterwards.

WHAT WE DO

This is not template service.

A dismissal letter template gives you a structure. It does not give you a strategy. What we provide is something different, a professionally drafted document built entirely around your specific situation, whether that is a dismissal appeal, a formal challenge to the process, or a constructive dismissal letter, your evidence, and what your case needs to achieve.

We review your situation properly

Before we draft anything, we spend 50 minutes going through your matter in depth. Reviewing your fixed-fee assessment, confirming what happened, when, what was said, what was documented, and what you want the outcome to be. The document follows from that conversation.

We identify what matters legally

There is often more to a dismissal than the presenting reason. Protected characteristics, procedural failures, ACAS deadlines, earlier correspondence. We examine your situation for the legal basis that gives your document the strongest possible foundation.

​

We draft to a professional standard

The document is structured, evidenced, and targeted. It is written to be read by HR, a manager, or if necessary, an employment tribunal. The tone is professional. The facts are clearly sequenced. The position is unambiguous.
