Clear advice when you face problems at work
Conflicts with employers or issues at work can be stressful and confusing. From bullying, to discrimination or breach of contract, if you have a legal problem at work, it’s important to seek expert guidance.

Legal and financial advice under one roof
Tees is a top-tier Legal 500 firm offering joined-up legal and financial services. We have our own independent financial advisers (IFAs), who work closely with our lawyers.
Our advisers provide holistic financial planning, and as we are not connected to any one provider, we can offer a whole-of-market approach for the range of products we can advise on. We can also give independent advice for a whole range of insurance products to protect you and your family. Our IFAs are regulated and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, which means we’re accountable for the advice we give.
Get in touch today, we’re here to help
If you’re facing a difficult situation at work, getting early legal advice can help you understand your rights and your options. Whether you’re dealing with a dispute, disciplinary or grievance process, redundancy, discrimination, or concerns about your employment, our team can provide clear, practical advice tailored to your circumstances.
We have offices across Cambridgeshire, Essex and Hertfordshire, but we can help you wherever you are in England and Wales.
