Employer treating you badly at work?
Workplace disputes can be daunting, but getting legal representation doesn’t have to be! Grapple Law is the UK’s first AI-powered law firm for employees treated badly at work. It’s been created to give employees and workers instant access to expert legal guidance and support.
All the knowledge you’d expect from an experienced lawyer is built into our employment law AI, meaning you get clear, reliable answers right when you need them.
Whether you’re questioning a dismissal or redundancy, or have a settlement agreement in your hands, Grapple Law can help you slice through the legal barriers and take back control.
Examples of legal documents for employment law include:
- ‘Without prejudice’ letters
- Data Subject Access Requests (‘DSAR’s’)
- Details of Claim for your employment tribunal claim
What you should do
- Do not resign from your job: it’s better that you remain employed, because you will be more like a thorn in their side when it comes to offering you a settlement
- If you find it too stressful to go into work, ask your GP to sign you off sick
- Keep settlement negotiations confidential from your colleagues
- Make sure your LinkedIn profile doesn’t mention that you are looking for work (if you’re still employed)
- Ensure that you issue your Acas notification form (you have to notify Acas of your intention to make an employment tribunal claim) and/or your employment tribunal claim are within your time limit even if you are still negotiating at that time.
Why choose Grapple Law?
Immediate answers – no waiting for appointments.
Cost-effective – affordable, transparent, and far cheaper than traditional solicitors.
Trusted expertise – grounded in the latest UK employment law.
Key employment law areas that Grapple Law supports
Grapple Law can help with most areas of employment law, including:
Constructive Dismissal
Constructive dismissal is where working conditions become so intolerable that you feel you have no choice but to resign. Under employment law it can form the basis of a legal compensation claim.
Grapple Law explains whether your situation might qualify. It guides you through the next steps to protect your position and to initiate a claim for compensation.
Unfair Dismissal
Unfair dismissal is when you’re dismissed without a fair reason or without your employer following the correct procedures.
Grapple Law identifies how employment law protects you, outlines time limits for bringing a claim and what compensation might be possible. It can also start a compensation claim on your behalf.
Redundancy
Redundancy happens if your role genuinely no longer exists. If you’ve been unfairly chosen, overlooked for alternative roles, or denied proper consultation, your redundancy could be unlawful.
Grapple Law guides you through your redundancy employment law rights, including redundancy pay, notice periods, and what to do if you suspect the process isn’t fair.
Settlement Agreement Support
You may be offered a settlement agreement by your employer to end your employment. It’s a legal document detailing financial and other compensation to be paid in exchange for waiving your right to make any future claims.
Grapple Law can conduct settlement agreement negotiations on your behalf. Once you have a settlement agreement, Grapple Law can arrange for a human lawyer to review and sign the agreement - a legal requirement paid for by your employer.
Workplace Discrimination
Discrimination at work is unlawful if it’s based on a protected characteristic such as age, race, gender, disability, or religion. It could include unfair treatment, harassment, or being denied opportunities such as promotion or training.
Grapple Law assesses and advises you on your situation under current employment law, and helps you follow the path most appropriate for you.
Employment Tribunal Claims
Hopefully, it will not be necessary to go to an employment tribunal because we will try to settle your case out of court.
However, Grapple Law may draft your Details of Claim document for you which you can use to start an employment tribunal claim if needed.
If you do end up in the employment tribunal, please name yourself (and NOT Grapple Law) as your representative.
Grapple Law will provide guidance about your employment tribunal, but you will be responsible for conducting, or arranging the conduct of, your own employment tribunal case.
Settlement agreement signing
At the end of a successful employment law negotiation, you would normally be asked by your employer to sign a ‘settlement agreement’ which also needs to be reviewed and signed by a solicitor.
We can put you in touch with a specialist employment law solicitor to provide that service for you, or you can use a solicitor of your choice.
There is a fee for the solicitor’s reviewing and signing service but it is always paid for by the employer.
This would be a separate arrangement from these terms of business.
