Free initial consultations

Citizens Advice provides free initial consultations to employment law clients. The service offers essential information and support to 3 million people a year via a network of 2,540 locations, 21,400 volunteers and 8,150 staff.

Citizens Advice works on a rota basis with other law firm solicitors. During the initial consultation, the client discusses all angles of their employment issue with a Citizens Advice volunteer or member of staff. Because employment law is so complex, they then determine if additional expertise is needed from a solicitor.

If selected from the rota of several local law firm solicitors, the solicitor will step in to provide technical know-how and professional reassurance. Their role is to determine if there is a claim to be made under the law and advise on the next steps to take if the client chooses to progress things. If they do decide to take action, the solicitor will help and support them through the entire process.

Citizens Advice also has guides to help people check if their dismissal is unfair and check if their employer’s dismissal process was unfair.
