Discrimination can happen when you’re treated differently or unethically for being married or in a civil partnership. If you think this is happening or has happened to you, our discrimination solicitors can help.

You are not protected if you’re:
- Divorced or someone whose civil partnership has been dissolved
- Engaged
- In a relationship but not married or in a civil partnership.
Marriage and civil partnership discrimination at work can occur in various ways.
