Employment Legal Advice

Where to find Legal Advice

ACAS gives free employment advice and is a great place to start when you’ve tried to resolve a major issue at work, or with the help of an Independent Support Organisation and it hasn’t worked. You can also search for Solicitors that specialise in employment legal advice on the Law Society of Scotland website, who may give you some initial guidance for free.

Next Steps

If you haven’t already, seek independent support or try the ACAS website below.
