Employment lawyers in Glasgow

Glasgow is Scotland’s largest economy and employer, supporting over 400,000 jobs. The number of jobs located in the city has grown by more than 70,000 in the past decade, making it one of the fastest growing cities in the UK. The Glasgow economy is dominated by financial and business services. Other important industries are public administration, health care and retail. Glasgow is also a major manufacturing centre in the UK although this is becoming less significant as the city and region shifts further towards a service-based economy.

Both the total population and the city’s working age population have been growing in the past decade, contributing to growth in the city and region. However, being home to many major banking, financial services and insurance companies, Glasgow is not immune from downturns and fluctuations in economy activity. Glasgow employment lawyers witness significant increases in redundancies, dismissals and changes to working conditions following economic disturbances. As a consequence, Glasgow employment lawyers are well placed to advise you on your employment situation.

Compromise agreements are becoming a more common feature of employment disputes. Whether you are being dismissed or made redundant, an employment solicitor can advise you as to whether a compromise agreement may be suitable. A compromise agreement is a legally binding agreement between an employee and employer setting out terms and conditions agreed upon. They can be used for a broad range of disputes. They are often a good alternative to pursuing a claim at an employment tribunal and are certainly easier, faster and more cost effective. Glasgow employment lawyers may be able to offer a set fee for advising upon a compromise agreement.

If a compromise agreement is unsuitable and you need to attend an employment tribunal, the Glasgow Employment Tribunal is located at the Eagle Building, 215 Bothwell Street, Glasgow, G2 7TS.
