We are specialist discrimination lawyers who advise on and act for clients in matters involving discrimination, victimisation, or harassment - whether in the workplace, partnerships or within academic institutions. We act for individuals, companies and other institutions, both in relation to contentious and non-contentious matters, and manage litigation from inception to conclusion, including providing advocacy services. We have a particular focus on senior executives.
As discrimination lawyers Farore Law brings over 25 years of experience handling cases involving all types of discrimination, equal pay, harassment and victimisation. Our cases involve discrimination related to all protected characteristics, including age, race, gender, disability, sexuality, pregnancy, religion and philosophical belief. The disability discrimination matters that the firm handles are generally those concerning mental health disabilities, and neurodiversity, as the firm has particular experience in this area. Although we cover all types of harassment in the workplace, we have particular expertise in sexual harassment and sexual misconduct matters.
Both the firm and Suzanne McKie KC are ranked as Leaders by the 2023 Legal 500 for the employment law services we provide to Senior Executives. This reflects the dedication and high level of specialist experience our discrimination lawyers have in dealing with high value discrimination cases, particularly those involving complicated factual disputes and the need for sophisticated analysis of quantification of loss. Suzanne McKie KC’s experience working for years with a finance house makes her particularly qualified to handle discrimination claims involving investment banks, private equity and asset management companies.
Our experienced team of discrimination lawyers can advise from the initial investigation, grievance and pre-action stages, through all stages of the litigation process, both in Employment Tribunals and the High Court. Our highly specialised focus means we provide a superlative service to all our clients.
Our discrimination lawyers act for senior executives, partners, LLP members, companies, academic institutions and training/qualification bodies. We provide regulatory advice arising out of any actual or alleged discrimination or harassment.
We regularly undertake investigations for companies and other bodies concerning allegations of discrimination, harassment or related misconduct, as well as concerns related to equal pay. We also advise barristers’ chambers and other law firms on advancing their diversity and managing any gender pay gap.
Farore Law pays particular attention to privacy and discretion. Our lawyers will always discuss appropriate solutions that do not involve litigation if our client prefers the matter to be dealt without commencing or advancing court proceedings.
