GC solicitor needed to respond to HR letter.

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone might know the names of any employment solicitors out there who have experience with GC views.

My sister has received a letter from her HR admonishing her for her GC views. They've sent it along with their harassment and bullying policies.

In the letter they list the protected characteristics of the equality act, and conflate sex and gender - they fail to know the diff between the two, but even if it were gender, it wouldn't apply here.

I actually am a lawyer but this isn't my area - I would like to take some time with DS to provide a response and want someone who is experienced in this area to help.

Thoughts?

Thank you all x

Have you tried Levins Solicitors? They are followed by some GC women and post bits on Twitter. Alternatively what about looking at some of the people who have cases coming up re GC issues. Their crowd justice sites have the solicitors representing them.

I think Anya Palmer is a barrister but if you contact her office maybe they can recommend a solicitor? (Don't work in law as is probably obvious - maybe they aren't that helpful!) oldsquare.co.uk/people/anya-palmer/

Thanks all. He's on annual leave, back 5th Sep. I've emailed his person named in his out of office but it's bounced back, so called the firm and left a voicemail....

And he was also Allison’s solicitor.

Previous posters gave good advice.

This also might be useful:

Probably worth contacting Sex Matters too - they will be able to advise, I think.

Peter Daly at Doyle Clayton was Maya’s solicitor I think.

Legal Feminists and Free Speech Union may be able to help.
