Specialist careers and employment disputes

We undertake instructions involving professional and senior careers, technical specialists, self-employment and other less conventional career paths. We may also provide independent employment evidence in employment disputes involving recruitment, promotion, performance, reasonable adjustments, fair treatment / bullying/ or where work based stressed has been an issue  and workplace processes.

Specialist career claims may require detailed consideration of professional qualifications, career structures, recruitment and promotion requirements, employer expectations, remuneration, bonuses or commission, self-employed earnings and the evidence supporting claimed progression. Our experience of recruitment, assessment, career development and organisational practice helps inform these opinions.

Where standard occupational data do not adequately reflect the career in question, we can undertake bespoke labour-market research into role requirements, earnings, progression and employment opportunities. Our work has covered occupations as varied as ballet dancers, actors and creative-media professionals, zookeepers, commercial divers and other specialist or unusual careers.

In employment disputes, we may consider the individual, relevant workplace policies and processes, assessment procedures, communications and the wider organisational context. Our role is to provide independent employment evidence. Questions of legal liability remain for the Court or Tribunal, while medical or clinical issues are addressed by the appropriate professional experts.
