Case StudyMartine worked as the Head of Marketing at a university. She was paid £50,000 per year but had recently fallen into dispute with a Dean. She was offered one years’ salary and a standard factual reference to go quietly. She approached us to discuss the situation. We identified that the behavior of the Dean towards Martine had been bullying and condescending and different from how he treated her male colleagues. This was likely to be discriminatory. We picked up negotiations on Martine’s behalf and managed to obtain a settlement of £100,000, a full reference and enabled her to retain her mobile phone and laptop. |
