How can a lawyer help you sleep better at night?

 

It’s a fact of life that if you have a full-time job, you spend more time working than doing anything else. If that’s not depressing enough, recent studies show that people experiencing problems at work are highly likely to have trouble sleeping.

 

Interestingly, it’s not job security worries or long hours that are responsible for most disrupted nights, but conflicts with colleagues.

 

Traditionally, employment lawyers have only been drafted in to help when the problem has reached epic proportions and formal legal action is being considered. By then, relations have usually come to breaking point and may be incapable of being patched up. Grievances have been lodged, hurtful things have been said that cannot be taken back and the situation has escalated, becoming emotive and stressful.

 

In our experience, earlier recourse to an experienced employment lawyer could be invaluable. If you fundamentally like your job and simply want an ongoing issue (perhaps the way you are treated by your manager, the level of your pay or bonuses, the fact that one of your colleagues takes innumerable “duvet days” and no action ever seems to be taken) to be resolved, we might be able to help.

 

We often help employees assert their rights without legal action becoming necessary – helping employees draft appropriate correspondence or prepare properly for important meetings. Often it’s not the actual issue that causes a dispute but the way in which it is communicated – and we can help you avoid making a difficult situation into a dismissal situation.
