Spencer Shaw Solicitors

We are @BhamLawSociety's Firm of the Year (1-49 employees) 2025! Well done to our entire team, who work so incredibly hard to provide excellent advice and service to our clients.

Whistleblowing detriment claims rose by 104 per cent to 1,546 complaints between the second quarters of 2025 and 2026. Ian spoke to People Management magazine about why that might be, and how employers can reduce risks: peoplemanagement.co.uk/article/195218…

Instead of a night of celebration, this year’s BAFTA awards sparked controversy. What if this happened in a normal workplace? Is it possible to be inclusive of employees with this form of Tourette's while also protecting others from harmful language? spencershaw.co.uk/news/baftas-co…

Being shortlisted for a national award, open to firms of all sizes, feels like an incredible achievement for a firm of our size. This category has a special place in our hearts as we built our firm around excellent customer service.!

We've been shortlisted at the LexisNexis Legal Awards 2026 for the Customer Focus Award! #LLA2026 #LegalAwards

Luckily, we’ve covered they key changes, the likely impact, and the dates you need to prepare for. Visit our blog for breakdown and analysis of the Employment Rights Act and what it means for you: spencershaw.co.uk/news/tag=emplo…

The Employment Rights Act has finally been passed, and it's been a long time coming between amendments, delays and several rounds of 'ping pong'. Even now the Act has passed, most changes don’t take effect immediately - they’ll be staggered throughout 2026 and 2027.

Three Best Rated have updated their rankings for 2026, and we are very proud to still ranked as one of their top three employment law solicitors in Birmingham. We have now been ranked for over 8 years, recognising consistency in providing excellent service. @threebestrated

Only 23% of employees who saw or heard about misconduct reported it. It's a worrying statistic, which could suggest that wrongdoing is going under the radar in your organisation. We've looked at the findings to see how employers can improve: spencershaw.co.uk/news/only-23-o…

Even a strong claim can be undermined by a poorly drafted claims form. This can cause delays, extra costs, or the failure of your claim altogether. So how do you present your claim in the strongest terms? spencershaw.co.uk/news/avoid-the…

As more employers use technology to monitor employees, more are ending up in the headlines and facing tribunal claims. From purpose, procedures and training, here are some of the things employers need to consider to meet their legal obligations: spencershaw.co.uk/news/surveilla…

Behind every employment dispute is a person whose world just shifted. Redundancy, discrimination, dismissal, they don’t stay at work. They hit identity, confidence, family. We blend legal clarity with human understanding. ☎️ #EmploymentLaw #LegalAdvice

That funny WhatsApp meme? It could be Exhibit A. Informal chats - on WhatsApp, Slack, or text - can end up as tribunal evidence. Modern work needs modern policies. Need help updating yours? Get in touch. #EmploymentLaw #LegalAdvice

“Being fair” isn’t a legal defence. Good intentions don’t stand up in court - solid policies do. Don’t rely on handshakes or goodwill. Be nice, yes, but protect your business with processes that hold up beyond the pub. #EmploymentLaw #LegalAdvice

We know that choosing a solicitor is about trust. 🤝 That’s why it means so much when clients describe our advice as ‘first class’ and recommend us to others. Thank you for your confidence in us. #EmploymentLaw #WorkplaceRights #BusinessSupport #LegalAdvice #Solicitors

If your policy says “call in sick” but everyone texts, it's time for an update. Outdated policies don’t protect you. They collect dust… or become liabilities. Need help reviewing yours? We’re here. 📞 #WorkplaceRights #LegalAdvice

Some firms chase billable hours. We focus on supporting our team, so they can fully support you. Flexible working, realistic workloads, and a culture that values wellbeing. Because happy people give better advice. 😊 #EmploymentLaw #LegalAdvice

“ChatGPT told me I could…” Yes, we’ve heard it. But AI can invent case law, and we’ve seen it happen in court. Use AI for ideas. Use real solicitors for advice that won’t blow up in tribunal. #LegalAI #EmploymentLaw #LegalAdvice

We’re not in it for awards - but they matter. With just 9 staff, we held our own at the Birmingham Law Society Awards & gained national recognition at the Modern Law Awards. Small team. Big impact. #LegalAdvice #AwardWinningSolicitors
