Unions

Pattinson & Brewer has always been one of the foremost trade union solicitor firms dating back to when unions were first recognised as legal entities in the late nineteenth century. It has connections going back to the Taff Vale case in 1901 and to the formation of the TGWU in 1922.

We act for a number of well known trade unions, including  Unite the Union (T&G Section), GMB, Nautilus UK, Equity, CWU, Unison, Police Federation of England and Wales and many others. We are also proud to sponsor an overseas student in Trade Union Studies at Ruskin College.  Our expert and sympathetic lawyers offer the full range of services demanded by a modern trade union, including:

• Cost-effective workplace accident and disease claims
