Why us

Protecting your business interests

Our team works to protect your assets and reputation, whether the issue is in the tribunal or in your employment contracts, policies, procedures and HR support. Not every win needs a courtroom: much of our work is negotiation and settlement.

Our approach

  1. In court with you

    We believe in face-to-face work. Rather than relying solely on phone and email, we attend hearings with our clients, so you are not left to face the tribunal alone.

  2. Judicial understanding

    Our lawyers know litigation and the court system well. Being in the room gives us a clear view of how judges think and approach cases, and that shapes the strategy we give you.

  3. Solicitor and advocate, combined

    You get the litigation skills of a solicitor and the in-court experience of an advocate, from one team that knows your case from first call to final hearing.

I could not recommend this firm enough. They manage to maintain complete professionalism whilst also being personable. Rasheda and Dean clearly explained every step of the process from beginning to end, with Dean taking the time to explain all of legal jargon. I really appreciated this as it made, what started as a daunting experience, so much easier to complete. I am so glad that I took the time to look around and read reviews before choosing any local firm. It really made a difference. Thank you Liberty Law.

Liberty Law took over my case at its hardest point. Dean Garrett was calm, straight-talking and on top of every detail from the first call: he strengthened my case, instructed an outstanding barrister, and his judgement was right at every turn. Rasheda kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes — calls arranged, documents where they needed to be, nothing ever too much trouble. My case concluded on day two of the final hearing, with an outcome I was very pleased with. They believed in my case when it mattered, and they delivered. Highly recommended.

I cannot thank Liberty Law Solicitors enough for the support and representation I received during a very difficult and stressful time. My solicitor Dean Garrett was honest, clear, and professional from the outset, explaining my situation and the possible outcomes without giving false reassurance. I really appreciated that level of transparency. The preparation for the hearing was thorough and made a real difference. I felt well guided throughout the process and was able to stay calm and focused because of the support I received. I am very grateful for the work carried out on my case and would highly recommend Liberty Law Solicitors to anyone in need of strong, honest, and professional legal representation.

I recently sought advice and support from Atiq at Liberty Law Solicitors regarding an employment matter. I’m genuinely grateful for the way Atiq handled everything. He made the whole process feel manageable, took the time to explain things clearly, and provided steady reassurance throughout. Knowing I had someone knowledgeable and dependable guiding me made a big difference. It’s incredibly reassuring to have Atiq and the team at Liberty Law in your corner. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Questions people ask

General information, not advice on your case. For that, speak to us — the first conversation costs nothing.

Do you act for employers as well as employees?

Yes. We advise and represent both businesses and individuals in employment matters. Seeing disputes from both sides helps us anticipate how a claim against your business is likely to be put.

How much will it cost?

We offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to look at the basic details, confirm cost and arrange an appointment. As a guide, our published hourly rates for employment matters are £150 to £500 plus VAT, and fixed fees are available. We’ll give you a quote before any work starts.

A former employee has contacted ACAS. What should we do?

Take it seriously and get advice early. A claimant must usually notify ACAS for early conciliation before bringing most tribunal claims, and the conciliation period is an opportunity to resolve the matter. Keep all relevant documents and avoid discussing the dispute informally with the employee.

What happens if we don’t follow the ACAS Code?

The ACAS Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures applies to most disciplinary and grievance situations. If a claim succeeds and the tribunal finds that you unreasonably failed to follow the Code, it can increase the award by up to 25%. It can also reduce an award by up to 25% where the employee unreasonably failed to follow it.

How will the Employment Rights Act 2025 affect my business?

The Act makes wide-ranging changes to workplace rights, and they are being phased in over time through further regulations. Areas affected include unfair dismissal, zero-hours work, “fire and rehire” and statutory sick pay. Now is a good time to review your contracts, handbook, and dismissal and redundancy procedures.

Can you represent us at an employment tribunal?

Yes. We prepare and present employers’ cases in the Employment Tribunal and the Employment Appeal Tribunal, and we attend hearings with our clients rather than handing the case on.

Nothing on this page is legal advice, and no solicitor–client relationship is created by reading it. Every case turns on its own facts.

Tell us what has happened.

The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Two offices, one emergency line, and a solicitor at the end of it.

Say nothing until we are sitting beside you. Before you answer anything, call us. You should not face that interview alone. Do not go in there without a solicitor. Two in the morning is when we work hardest. You reach a solicitor, not a call centre.

The first conversation is free, confidential, and privileged from the first word. We attend police stations across England and Wales, day and night.
