Hi

Have you tried a local Law Centre, they all have access to good solicitors.

They offer this service for free.

Worth a try.

there is no local law centre.  I need company names not vague general info. There are no local solicitors attached to law centres as there is a conflict of interest.  Any specific company names woudl help

Hi @Raqssharqi,

Have you considered speaking to your local Citizens Advice? They may be able to support you and direct you to other local organisations which may be able to help you.

Are you in a Union - they have Equality Officers' and would advise.

There are over 50 local law centres throughout London.

There is no conflict of interest of local solicitors, working Pro Bono at these law centres. 

Suggest you you take a look at the Law Society's Pro Bono Charter.

Two law firms for you to try.

Thompsons Solicitors on 0800 0224 224, they only take instructions from employees or trade unions.

Also, try Eversheds Sutherland on 020 7919 4500, I have instructed them over the past.

Suggest you ask to speak to an employment lawyer and drop in, have they signed up to the Law Society's - Pro Bono Charter.
