Yes You Can
Take back your Power Confidence Dignity
We can help you get the outcome you deserve
Discrimination on the grounds of a disability can be absolutely shattering. It robs you of your confidence and can leave invisible scars for years.
We have a team of experienced and passionate solicitors & legal experts who fight daily for people just like you to put the power back in their hands.
You are not alone and you don’t have to feel alone anymore. Powerful change doesn’t come in a tidal wave; it comes with individuals just like you standing up and saying that enough is enough. Today is the day you take action, change your circumstances and pursue the outcome you deserve.
Why do some employers think they can get away with it?
- Subtle, snide questions or comments
- No accommodation made for your unique needs
- Excluded from events or activities without any explanation
- Made to feel like you are less-than or a burden on the team
- Denied access to the same opportunities as your colleagues

Our Client's Story
“I was devastated that my career had come to an end because of the actions of a small number of people in a large organisation. The problem was that this was ignored at the top and I was simply abandoned by my employer. I felt that no-one cared and then a friend referred me to Employment Matters. While the process was daunting, to have them with me every step of the way made it far easier to handle. Their professionalism and competence blew me (and my former employer) away. At times, they seemed to know more about my case than I did! Anyway, I’m so glad I did it and I was vindicated. The money was nice but the thought that I had won was worth more than anything.”
