Substantive provisions of the new Equality Act 2010 come into force on 1st October 2010. The Act brings disability, sex, race and other grounds of discrimination within a single piece of legislation and also makes changes to the law.

The Employment Team at Winston Solicitors will be holding a free seminar with Bruce Frew, Employment Barrister, on the evening of 30th September 2010 at their office so that the businesses attending can learn about the impact of the Equality Act 2010 in their workplace.

The story of equality legislation is an interesting one and coincidentally, this year sees the release of the film ‘Made in Dagenham’ which highlights the inequality that faced women in 1968 and shows how a group of outnumbered female factory workers at a Ford plant in Dagenham went on strike, demanding the same wages as the men who worked less skilled jobs, and paved the way for the Equal Pay Act 1970. The ladies rallied together, marching several times on Westminster, to achieve 92% of the men’s wages.

Client feedback

Fast acting legal firm! From booking an initial consultation to every step in between until agreement is settled - this firm provides first class service. The comfort of having solicitors service without attending office is the new way forward and this company made everything seamlessly possible! I highly recommend this firm as they are specialised in settlement agreements and do exactly as they advertise to do.

I recently worked with Dervinder on a matter requiring professional services. Throughout the process, he was consistently responsive, proactive, and professional. He took the time to explain each step clearly and always acted with integrity and care. His communication was excellent, and I felt supported and informed at every stage.Although still a trainee solicitor, Dervinder conducted himself with the assurance and attention to detail of someone far more experienced. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for anyone seeking professional legal services.

I have recently worked with Samira and Dervinder, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received. From the very beginning, they were both professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every step of the legal process in clear and understandable terms, and their attention to detail and genuine care for achieving the best possible outcome truly stood out. 10 out of 10!

From first contacting Winstons Solicitor, I was really impressed with the care, concern and empathy with which I was met. My subsequent meeting with Samira continued in the same way and I was able to benefit from clear, concise and invaluable professional advice clearly gained from years of experience. Thank you.

Amazing service from Winston Solicitors. Through my settlement agreement Dervinder explained everything thoroughly and helped understand what it was, what it meant and where changes were needed they sorted this to the timeline that was set. They were proactive and responded to all queries. They were very helpful and would recommend them completely as they explain in understandable terms for someone with limited knowledge of the process Thank you so much all!
