Local knowledge
Employment law in Norwich
Norwich is the economic hub for Norfolk, with strengths in insurance and financial services, publishing, digital and creative businesses, retail and research. Aviva, which grew out of Norwich Union, remains a major corporate occupier, alongside the University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. Work in these sectors raises issues such as restructuring, redundancy selection, fixed-term research contracts and NHS disciplinary procedures.
Norwich is also one of the main shopping destinations in the east of England and draws workers from the rural areas around it into retail, hospitality and office jobs. Questions about variable hours, holiday pay, unpaid wages and fair treatment after raising a concern come up often in these roles, and they are usually easier to resolve early, before a grievance turns into a dismissal.
For Norwich employers, from owner-managed firms to larger organisations, we advise on contracts and staff handbooks, restructuring and redundancy, settlement agreements, restrictive covenants and the handling of grievances and whistleblowing reports, so that decisions can be explained and defended if they are later challenged. We can also review your existing policies before you rely on them.
Tribunal hearings in Norwich

Questions
Norwich employment law questions
Short answers to common questions. Every situation is different, so the free consultation is the best place to start.
Can a Glasgow firm advise me in Norwich?
Yes. Most employment rights, such as protection from unfair dismissal and discrimination, are the same across Great Britain, although claims in England are heard by the employment tribunals for England and Wales. Call us on 0141 471 9166 or book online and we will arrange your free 30-minute consultation by video, by phone or in person. Most of our meetings take place by video, so there is usually no need to travel. Our office is at 11 Ashley Street, Glasgow.
Where would a Norwich employment tribunal hearing take place?
Claims from Norwich are usually heard at Norwich Magistrates’ Court, Bishopgate, Norwich NR3 1UP. Some hearings also take place by video. We will explain what to expect at each stage.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
For most claims the time limit is now six months from the date of the act you are complaining about, such as your dismissal. This changed on 1 October 2026; before then it was three months less one day. You usually need to start Acas early conciliation first, and time limits can be strict, so speak to a solicitor as early as you can.
Do you advise businesses in Norwich and Norfolk?
Yes. We advise employers of all sizes on contracts, restructuring, settlement agreements, restrictive covenants, absence and performance management, and handling whistleblowing reports.
