Wrongful termination Solicitors

Wrongful termination is often used in the US to describe being fired in breach of an employment contract or without proper legal grounds. In the UK, similar claims are usually termed wrongful dismissal or unfair dismissal. If you’re dismissed without following the correct procedures or for reasons not deemed “fair” under UK law, you may have grounds to challenge it.

What is wrongful termination in UK law?

Under UK law, wrongful dismissal means your employer broke your employment contract—for example, by dismissing you without giving proper notice or following contractual procedures. Unfair dismissal, on the other hand, is where the employer lacks a fair reason or fails to follow a reasonable process, as required by the Employment Rights Act 1996. While “wrongful termination” isn’t a formal UK legal term, if you’ve been dismissed without notice or a fair procedure, you could pursue a claim under either wrongful or unfair dismissal.

How can a solicitor help with a wrongful termination claim, and how much does it cost?

A solicitor will first identify whether your claim concerns breach of contract (wrongful dismissal) or lack of a fair reason/process (unfair dismissal). They can then:

Review your employment contract and dismissal procedure
Advise on ACAS Early Conciliation to try resolving the dispute before a tribunal
Prepare and represent you at the Employment Tribunal if negotiations fail

Costs vary according to the solicitor’s experience and your case’s complexity. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £300, though some firms offer fixed fees or consider no win, no fee arrangements if your claim is strong. Always check for an initial consultation—often free or at a reduced rate—to discuss the merits of your case and potential costs.
