At Richard Reed Solicitors, we understand the significant impact that discrimination and harassment claims can have on a business. Whether it’s protecting your workplace culture or safeguarding your business reputation, our expert legal team provides proactive advice and robust support to employers in Sunderland and across the North East of England.

Understanding Discrimination and Harassment in the Workplace

Discrimination and harassment claims often stem from:

  • Protected Characteristics: Issues relating to age, gender, race, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or other legally protected characteristics.
  • Workplace Bullying: Behaviours that create an intimidating or hostile work environment.
  • Policy Breaches: Non-compliance with workplace policies or inadequate procedures.

Such claims related to discrimination and harassment can lead to costly tribunal cases, reputational damage, and a decline in employee morale. Taking early action is crucial to protect your business and foster a positive workplace environment.

Our team at Richard Reed Solicitors provides a wide range of services to help employers prevent and address discrimination and harassment claims, including:

  • Tribunal Representation: Offering expert defence and representation if claims of discrimination and harassment escalate to tribunal proceedings.
