Investigations, Hearings and Appeals

With a deep understanding of the sensitivity involved, our experienced team is here to help and guide.

Providing practical legal support for workplace disputes

Handling workplace complaints, disciplinary matters or appeals can be a significant challenge for any employer. When tensions rise or long-standing staff relationships are involved, it’s easy for emotions to cloud judgement, making it difficult to approach these situations with the fairness and objectivity they require.

At Mayo Wynne Baxter, we support businesses with practical, down-to-earth legal advice and representation at every stage of the process – from initial investigation to hearings and appeals. With decades of experience, we understand the pressures businesses face and the importance of acting with care, consistency, and confidence.

Whether you’re dealing with a complex grievance, a serious misconduct allegation, or a contested disciplinary appeal, our employment law specialists can step in to ease the burden. We can provide behind-the-scenes support to managers, lead independent investigations, and in some situations we can even take on formal roles such as chairing hearings or managing appeals.

In doing so, we not only ensure the process runs smoothly but also help protect your business’s reputation and working culture. We work flexibly around your needs, whether that means attending meetings on-site, advising remotely, or offering training to help your team handle future issues with confidence.

By keeping the process fair, robust, and legally sound, we reduce your exposure to claims and ensure you’re well-prepared should matters progress to a claim.
