Six Months In. Still Waiting to Be Paid.

The work was completed. The invoice was sent. Chasing emails were met with silence.

Six months of unpaid invoices was damaging cash flow, straining relationships, and taking up valuable management time.

When they contacted us, the situation felt overwhelming and complicated, but it wasn’t.

A clear letter before claim. A strong legal position from the outset. Prompt action instead of more chasing emails.

Within weeks, the outstanding amount was recovered in full.

We help businesses:
📃 Recover unpaid invoices and debts
📃 Enforce breached contract terms
📃 Resolve supplier and client disputes
📃 Defend claims brought against them

Don't let the situation drift. The sooner we're involved, the more options you have.

The Call No Employer Wants to Receive

It’s a Monday morning. An employee who left weeks ago has instructed a solicitor. A letter before claim lands in your inbox alleging unfair dismissal.

You thought you followed the right process. But now you’re wondering: Was the investigation thorough enough? Did we hold the right meetings? Was the dismissal letter detailed enough?

The businesses best placed to handle these situations are those that:

💼Had proper employment contracts in place
💼Followed clear disciplinary procedures
💼Sought legal advice before making decisions
💼Kept accurate records throughout

At Dutton Gregory, we help employers put the right protections in place before disputes arise and support them every step of the way when they do.

Don’t wait for the Monday morning letter. Speak to our Employment team today.

Have you heard about the significant changes to significant reforms to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and parental leave rights?

From April 6, 2026:
⚠️SSP is now paid from day 1 of sickness, removing the 3-day waiting period.
⚠️The lower earnings limit for SSP has been removed, expanding eligibility.
⚠️SSP rates have increased to £123.25 per week or 80% of average weekly earnings (whichever is lower).
⚠️Paternity leave and unpaid parental leave are day 1 rights, no longer requiring minimum service.

These changes mean wider employee protections and increased responsibility for employers.

For employers, especially small to medium organisations, we recommend you review these policies as early and possible and ensure your employee contracts are clear.

Failure to address this, may result in increased costs and exposure claims. Need help with these reviews and updates?

Get in touch with our team today. Taya Watson, one of our Trainee Solicitors, expands on these changes through the link in the comments👇

Landlords, are you ready for 1 May? ⚠️

The Renters’ Rights Act will bring major changes. Assured Shorthold Tenancies are to be replaced by Assured Periodic Tenancies.

Landlords will no longer be able to serve notice via a Section 21, often referred to as “no fault evictions”.

Our Property, Lettings & Revenue Team are well placed to advise on all aspects of the new Act, including the provision of new Assured Periodic Tenancy documents.

From 1 May, all new tenancies must follow the new rules, so it’s essential to stay compliant.

📩Get in touch today to prepare.
