EDI disputes: Support, advice & representation

We help charities, public bodies, membership bodies, employers, service providers, awarding organisations and educational bodies, and other organisations to comply with their obligations under the Equality Act.

How we help

We review and draft equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) policies and procedures. We advise on embedding inclusion in all of your activities, particularly where there are competing interests, including advice on lawful positive action.

Our Employment and Dispute Resolution teams also help with bringing or defending Equality Act complaints and claims by beneficiaries, service users, employees, members, volunteers and other stakeholders.

  • We advise on breaches of the Equality Act relating to employment, membership, service provision and education
  • We provide support with reputation management in disputes of this nature, both for defendants and claimants
  • We provide legal representation in employment tribunal and court cases
  • We conduct investigations into conduct and complaints
