Employment and Discrimination Law

About intro

Seven Chambers advocates for claimants, championing workers' rights across the full spectrum of employment cases. Our expertise ranges from straightforward unfair dismissal claims to complex matters involving discrimination, trade union rights, and human rights violations.

Seven Chambers has a proven track record of representing employees and workers at all levels, from regulatory proceedings to the Employment Tribunal, the Supreme Court, and the European Court of Human Rights.

Our cases have been instrumental in shaping the law on issues such as indirect discrimination, the rights of agency workers, the interplay between freedom of expression and unfair dismissal, and the ability of service personnel to access employment courts.

As a multi-disciplinary chambers, our members benefit from close collaboration with our immigration team, which has been invaluable in handling high-profile cases involving employee status and trafficking claims.

Our team comprises barristers from diverse backgrounds, enabling us to provide advice with empathy and a deep understanding of individual circumstances. We are dedicated to delivering a high-quality, effective, and approachable service. At Seven Chambers, we take pride in our commitment to workers’ rights and fully appreciate the challenges faced by individuals seeking justice in a jurisdiction where public funding for claims is not available. Many of our members also accept employment cases under the public access scheme.
