Knowing your legal rights can be vital at many points in working life.

The employment solicitors at Mayo Wynne Baxter have created this section of our website to help candidates understand their rights and make informed decisions.

Whether you’re concerned about working conditions, need to understand redundancy regulations, suspect you’re being treated unfairly, or just want an overview of your basic rights we hope these pages help.

Temporary workers are often subject to different legislation so we’ll also be dealing with issues faced by those without employee status.

New articles will be published each week and a selection will be included in our candidate newsletter.

If there’s an issue you’d particularly like us to tackle please email enquiries@mayowynnebaxter.co.uk and we will do our best to cover it.

Mayo Wynne Baxter’s employment solicitors work throughout the Gatwick diamond and beyond with offices in East Grinstead, Brighton, Eastbourne, Seaford and Lewes
