Discrimination law continues to be one of the fastest changing areas of employment law. Sexual orientation and religion/belief along with age discrimination laws have been recently been added to sex, gender, ethnic origin, nationality and disability discrimination laws. These new laws are likely to have a wide impact on business practices, including holiday arrangements, dress code, working hours and benefits.

Our employment team's experience can ensure that you do not breach rights, and we have extensive experience of defending discrimination claims.

We recently acted for a national vehicle manufacturer over an indirect sex discrimination claim and helped them find a solution to the challenge of employing less able bodied employees. We also recently acted for a national charity, defending complex claims of sex and racial discrimination.

With new legislation coming into effect all the time, we can keep you up to date with changes to ensure that you are acting within the law.
