Legal Advice Centre

Employment Law

The Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre offers free preliminary advice on a range of employment law matters including:

  • Unlawful dismissal
  • Discrimination due to age, gender, disability, or otherwise
  • Unpaid Wages
  • Bullying and Harassment.

Following an appointment with a student adviser and qualified employment lawyer, we will provide you with a letter advising you on your legal position and, if applicable, explain the grievance and Employment Tribunal process.

Please note that we are unable to provide representation at Tribunal, but aim to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your case before it reaches the Tribunal stage. Should you require Tribunal representation, you may wish to contact:

I found this service to be incredibly valuable as it helped me to truly understand the merits of my employment tribunal case from a more legal perspective. My advice letter was extensive, packed with helpful information regarding my case but most importantly, it was clear and easy to navigate. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone seeking a legal understanding of their grievance.

The Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre is committed to offering its students and local community opportunities through collaborative work. We focus on offering employability skills to undergraduate law students and beyond and supporting causes that are in line with our ethos and QMLAC values.

One of these collaborations is with Future Leaders UK on our community mentoring scheme. This long-standing collaboration offers undergraduate students across the university the chance to mentor A-level students from East London.

We also run a scheme known as Advocates for Change which offers court marshalling to students, aiming to get more state school students into the Judiciary.

Please contact us on legal-advice-centre@qmul.ac.uk if you are interested in working with us on something new!
