Workplace Discrimination Solicitors in Stockport & Manchester

Workplace discrimination is regulated by the Equality Act 2010 to protect employees with ‘protected characteristics’ from unfair treatment. Discrimination can come in many forms, including harassment or victimisation due to a particular protected characteristic.

Our solicitors are very familiar with dealing with discrimination in the workplace, from advising on grievances, settlement and Employment Tribunal claims.  With Gorvins Solicitors, you can have the confidence of knowing that you have the right legal expertise in your corner.

What are the different types of workplace discrimination?

The following can all be examples of discrimination in the workplace:

• Age discrimination
• Disability discrimination
• Maternity and pregnancy discrimination
• Race discrimination
• Religion or belief discrimination
• Sex discrimination
• Sexual orientation discrimination
• Transgender discrimination
• Part time and fixed term workers

If you are treated less favourably than others due to one of the above, or your employer does not make reasonable adjustments if you have a disability, then you could have a claim for discrimination.
