Our discrimination services

Direct discrimination

Direct discrimination occurs when you’re treated unfairly or less favourably because of a protected characteristic. No matter how you’ve been discriminated against, our team is here to help you understand your rights and take action if you believe you’ve been directly discriminated against in your workplace.

We’ll work with you to gather evidence, build a strong case, and properly address your experience to bring justice to the perpetrator. At Owen White Catlin, our comprehensive knowledge and tailored support will mean you can confidently pursue a fair resolution and seek accountability for the treatment you’ve faced.

Indirect discrimination

Indirect discrimination occurs when workplace policies put certain groups at an unfair disadvantage, even if unintentionally. If you feel a policy affects you negatively due to a protected characteristic, our solicitors can help you assess the situation and determine the best course of action. We’ll carefully review the policy’s impact on you and others, providing clear advice on how to advocate for positive change in your workplace.

Harassment

Harassment at work can create an intimidating or hostile environment, affecting your well-being and ability to perform your role. We appreciate the difficulty this can have on your ability to work and will provide empathetic support to help you address harassment, whether it involves inappropriate comments, actions, or behaviour linked to a protected characteristic.

We’ll support you in documenting your experience, understanding your rights, and pursuing an appropriate response from your employer. With our help, you can take steps to protect your dignity and ensure your concerns are handled seriously.

Victimisation

Victimisation occurs when you’re treated unfairly for raising concerns or supporting someone else who has faced discrimination. Our solicitors are ready to defend your rights if you’ve experienced retaliation for standing up against discrimination or participating in a related case. We’ll help you document the actions taken against you, advise you on how to address the situation with your employer and support you in seeking a fair resolution.
