Reasonable adjustment disputes often turn on what the employer or organisation knew, what disadvantage was identified and what adjustments were requested or refused.
Gather medical or occupational health evidence, adjustment requests, employer responses, policies, meeting notes, dismissal or absence documents and a short chronology of disadvantage and decisions.
A barrister may need to assess whether disability is disputed, what the employer or service provider knew, what disadvantage arose and what adjustments were realistic in the circumstances.
The most useful documents are those that show knowledge, disadvantage, requests, responses and consequences.
Explain the specific adjustment requested, why it was needed and what happened when it was not made. If several adjustments were discussed, separate them clearly.
A barrister may be able to advise, draft, negotiate or represent you at a tribunal where the matter is suitable for Direct Access. Some matters still need solicitor support for ongoing correspondence or litigation management.
Send what you have, but explain if medical evidence is incomplete. The barrister or chambers can say whether more material is needed.
A barrister may advise on rights, risks, evidence and strategy before or after dismissal where the work is suitable.
Yes. Include relevant employer concerns, absence records or performance documents so advice and quote scope are realistic.
