Why an expert Belfast-based employment lawyer is a good choice
- Live or work in Belfast?
- In a dispute with your employer?
- Wondering what to do?
Although technology makes it easy to communicate with any employment lawyer, anywhere, you might prefer to take advice from someone local.
I’m Paul Doran of Paul Doran Law. We’re based on the outskirts of Belfast and have associates both here and in Newcastle upon Tyne. This article explains some of the reasons why you might consider choosing us to help resolve your dispute.
We’re based in Belfast
We’re local so you could meet us in person if need be (when Covid restrictions allow). However, it doesn’t really matter where you are, as we support employees anywhere in Northern Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland.
We’re on your side
We only ever act for employees, never for employers. We’ll help you handle grievance internally, negotiate with your employer to get you the best deal, and then represent you at the Employment Tribunal if the case goes that far.
We’re experts
I qualified in 2008 and launched the business in 2013. We specialise in negotiating compromise agreements (known as settlement agreements in the rest of the UK), as well as dealing with claims to do with discrimination, unfair dismissal, equal pay, holiday pay and more.
You get personal attention
As a boutique employment law firm, you’ll find we’re quick and responsive.
We attain proven results
Over the years, we’ve helped thousands of employees and recovered millions of pounds in compensation. For evidence, scroll down and click through to our individual biographies where you can read some of the high profile cases we’ve each worked on and notable successes we’ve achieved.
We act against employers of all sizes
It doesn’t matter what size your employer may be. We’ve handled claims against multi-national corporations, universities and local authorities as well as small businesses including hotels, pet shops and care providers.
We’re regulated and insured
We’re regulated by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority. This reassures you that everyone who works here meets the high standards set by the SRA, and that we hold insurance to protect you if anything goes wrong.
You have a choice of ways to pay
The initial consultation is free, and you might find any legal costs are covered by an insurance policy you hold.
If not, these are your options:
- Fixed fee agreed in advance so you know where you stand
- Charged by the hour so you pay for the exact amount of time we spend
- No win, no fee’ arrangement where you only pay if you win
