The law protects employees in relation to unfair dismissal. Sometimes an unfair dismissal claim can arise due to you being given no choice but to resign from your employment. This counts as a ‘dismissal’ in law.
Our solicitors are very familiar with dealing with constructive unfair dismissal claims, from advising on the correct time to resign and how to draft the resignation letter correctly (which is important to support a claim for constructive unfair dismissal). With Gorvins Solicitors, you can have the confidence of knowing that you have the right legal expertise in your corner.
If you have been treated poorly by your employer, whether as a one-off incident or over a period of time, you may feel that you have no choice other than to resign.
