employment law

As one of the largest employment law teams in the North East, the Dere Street's Employment Team provides the highest level of expertise in all aspects of employment law. From unfair dismissal cases to restraint of trade, TUPE, equal pay and all types of discrimination, we have the perfect experienced employment barrister for your needs. However complex the case, each Dere Street employment law barrister has the knowledge, experience and ability to meet the challenge.

Extensive experience representing employers and employees

Members of the team have extensive experience of representing employers and employees in the Employment Tribunal, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT), the High Court and the Court of Appeal.

We represent large employers such as PLCs, local authorities, NHS trusts and police authorities, as well as acting for Claimants in a large number of union funded cases. This breadth and depth of experience throughout our team enables us to provide the best possible representation to all our clients.

Commercial common sense

We also pride ourselves on our commercial common sense. We understand the needs and objectives of our clients and are able to provide practical advice on how to achieve a desired outcome. And of course, our fees are always fair and realistic.

Always up to date with employment law

Pivotal to our practice is a belief in the importance of being up to date with the development of employment law. Many of us have reported leading employment law cases and contribute to professional journals. Do you need to know how an unfair dismissal tribunal works, or understand the role of the modern barrister in employment law? If so, in-house training or lecturing is an additional service our practitioners are delighted to offer.

From advice on TUPE regulations to choosing an employment law barrister, our dedicated employment clerks will be happy to assist with any query or request, however small.
