Local knowledge
Employment law in Liverpool
Services dominate Liverpool’s economy, and health and social care is its largest employment sector. Public administration, education, finance and insurance are also significant, with government bodies such as HM Revenue and Customs and HM Passport Office having offices in the city. Health, care and public sector work often raises issues with shift patterns, whistleblowing, disciplinary procedures and restructuring.
The Port of Liverpool is one of the UK’s main gateways for transatlantic trade, and the visitor economy and film and television production bring further jobs, while Jaguar Land Rover builds cars at its Halewood plant. Port, logistics and hospitality roles can involve shift work, agency arrangements and questions about employment status. These rights are set by UK-wide legislation, so the same core rules apply in Liverpool as in Glasgow.
For Liverpool employers, we advise on contracts, restructuring, settlement agreements, restrictive covenants, and absence and performance management, and we help you handle grievances and whistleblowing reports in a way that is fair, consistent and properly recorded, whether you run a small hospitality business or a larger organisation.

Questions
Liverpool 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 Liverpool?
Yes. Your core employment rights, including protection from unfair dismissal and discrimination and the right to be paid correctly, come from legislation that applies across Great Britain, so they are the same in Liverpool as in Glasgow. 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 Liverpool employment tribunal hearing take place?
Liverpool employment tribunal hearings take place at Liverpool Civil and Family Court, 35 Vernon Street, Liverpool L2 2BX. 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.
Can you help my Liverpool business with an employment problem?
Yes. We advise Liverpool and Merseyside employers on contracts, restructuring, settlement agreements, restrictive covenants, absence and performance management, and handling whistleblowing reports.
