Employment Law Advice You Can Rely On
A highly trusted UK employment law firm
Magara Law is recognised as the UK’s #1 employment law firm by ReviewSolicitors as of May 2026, with an Excellent rating based on 263 Google reviews and counting.
Our work is also reflected in the awards, accreditations and professional recognition connected to the firm’s contribution to employment law, workplace mediation and client care.
Employees trust us when they need advice on settlement agreements, dismissal, redundancy, disciplinary action, being managed out, workplace discrimination, pregnancy and maternity issues, whistleblowing or an employment tribunal claim.
Employers trust us when they need to manage grievances, disciplinary processes, restructures, sickness absence, workplace conflict, discrimination risk, senior exits, employment tribunal defence or ongoing employment law support properly.
Across both sides of the employment relationship, the advice has to be practical from the first conversation. It has to take account of timing, evidence, process, risk, negotiation, commercial pressure, and the people involved.
Magara Law helps employees protect their rights before their position is weakened. We help employers act lawfully, document decisions properly and avoid unnecessary escalation.
We are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and advise clients by phone, video call and in person, with offices and meeting locations in Bicester, Banbury, London and Reading.
The Employment Law advice you need for workplace issues
When a workplace decision could affect your job, business, income, reputation or legal position, you need advice from a specialist employment law firm that understands both the law and the pressure you are under.
Magara Law acts for employees and employers across the UK. If you are an employee, we can advise you on settlement agreements, dismissal, workplace discrimination, redundancy, grievances, disciplinary action, being managed out, constructive dismissal, whistleblowing and employment tribunal claims.
If you are an employer, we can advise you on fair process, workplace investigations, restructures, sickness absence, workplace conflict, discrimination risk, employment tribunal defence, workplace mediation, employment contracts, workplace policies and ongoing employment law support.
Based in Bicester, Oxfordshire, with offices and meeting locations in Bicester, Banbury, London and Reading, Magara Law combines local accessibility with national employment law capability.
You may need advice before a settlement agreement is signed, before a resignation is submitted, before a dismissal is confirmed, before redundancy consultation begins, before a grievance or disciplinary hearing takes place, or before an employment tribunal claim is issued or defended.
Our role is to help you protect your position, avoid unnecessary risk, and move forward with proper legal advice behind you.
Services we offer include:
Settlement Agreements
Settlement agreements are legally binding contracts between parties to resolve a dispute without going to a tribunal. They typically outline the terms of the resolution, including any payments or actions required by either party. Once signed, both parties agree to waive any further legal claims related to the dispute.
Discrimination At Work
Helping employees that have the right to a workplace free from unfair treatment based on characteristics like race, gender, age, religion, or disability. Employers are legally required to address and prevent discriminatory practices, offering equal opportunities and safeguarding against harassment or victimisation.
Redundancy
Redundancy advice provides guidance on legal requirements when reducing staff, ensuring compliance with fair dismissal procedures. It covers employee rights such as notice periods, severance pay, and consultation obligations.
Employment Tribunal
An employment tribunal resolves workplace disputes, such as unfair dismissal or discrimination claims. Our employment law solicitors guide clients through the process, help prepare documents and ensure compliance; increasing the chances of a favourable outcome..

A note from Roy Magara
I founded Magara Law after experiencing an employment law issue myself.
That experience shaped the way I practise law because I remember what it felt like to need proper advice at a point where the decision in front of me carried real consequences. That experience has stayed with me.
I know how quickly a workplace issue can become personal. When your job, income, reputation, business, staff or organisation is affected, you do not just need someone who knows the law. You need to feel that the person advising you understands what is at stake, is on your side, and will help you see the issue through properly.
That is one of the reasons Magara Law is built around practical, specialist employment law advice for employees and employers who need to know where they stand before they act.
If you are an employee, you may be deciding whether to sign a settlement agreement, raise a grievance, challenge a dismissal, respond to disciplinary allegations, negotiate redundancy terms, deal with workplace discrimination, or bring an employment tribunal claim. The advice you receive before you act can affect the strength of your position.
If you are an employer, you may be managing a grievance, disciplinary process, restructure, sickness absence issue, discrimination concern, workplace conflict, senior exit or tribunal risk. The process you follow, the evidence you gather and the language you use can all affect whether your decision can be defended.
Because Magara Law advises both employees and employers, we understand how workplace disputes develop on both sides. We know how risk is created, how evidence is built, how negotiations unfold and how cases are prepared when they cannot be resolved.
My aim, and the aim of my team, is to give you specialist employment law advice that is practical from the first conversation, protects your position, and helps you move forward on the front foot.
We look forward to serving you.
Roy Magara – Founder, Director, and Principal Employment Solicitor Advocate, Magara Law.
