Why Cedar Wood Law
A specialist practice with a personal way of working
Deep trade union experience
We work closely with trade unions and understand the practical realities of workplace disputes, disciplinary processes and collective concerns.
Direct solicitor contact
Cedar Wood Law is intentionally small. You deal directly with the lawyer handling your case, from first advice to final outcome.
Access to justice
Alongside private and referred work, the firm supports pro bono legal clinics across South Wales and welcomes Welsh-language instructions.
Core Work
Advice and representation across the key employment law pressure points
We support clients from the first sign of trouble through to negotiated settlement or Employment Tribunal proceedings. Many matters resolve early; others require determined litigation. We prepare for both.
