Legal Notice for Harassment / Workplace

What this is

Send a legal notice to your employer, and if you choose to the person responsible, about sexual harassment, bullying, humiliation, discrimination or retaliation at work, calling upon the employer to act on your complaint, constitute or convene the Internal Committee, grant interim relief such as transfer or leave, stop retaliation and restore your position. It is for employees, contractors and interns at any workplace. Our panel advocate drafts, reviews and signs the notice on letterhead and it is sent by email and WhatsApp, with tracked speed post if you choose it.
