Empowering You at Work, and at Home.

Your Voice. Your Rights.
Our Fight.

We are The Advocacy Partnership, your dedicated ally in navigating employment and tenancy disputes. Whether you’re a worker facing unfair treatment or a tenant battling poor housing conditions, we offer professional advocacy that levels the playing field and protects your rights.

What Is an Advocate?

An advocate represents another person’s interests — professionally and independently.

We act on your behalf in mediation, negotiation, and formal hearings, ensuring your voice is heard and your evidence is properly presented.

Advocates are not solicitors or barristers; we operate within our specialist fields to provide focused representation and clear, practical solutions

Approach to Resolution

Where possible, we promote early and fair resolution through mediation or structured negotiation.

This process often achieves practical outcomes efficiently, while avoiding unnecessary stress or expense.

If your case proceeds to a hearing, we ensure full preparation and strong, professional representation before the relevant Tribunal or Authority.

Consultation

We welcome confidential enquiries from anyone seekinge guidance or representation.

Your initial consultation focuses on:

  • Reviewing your situation and key facts
  • Explaining your legal rights and responsibilities
  • Outlining clear next steps and likely outcomes

There is no obligation to proceed. We believe in providing information before commitment.

We’ll review your case and explain your options.

No Obligation.

Our Commitment

We believe advocacy should be accessible, transparent, and effective.

Every case is handled with care and attention to detail — ensuring your rights are upheld and your position is clearly and respectfully presented.

We prioritise:

  • Honest communication and realistic expectations
  • Thorough preparation of evidence and documentation
  • Constructive engagement with all parties
  • Resolution that protects both your interests and your wellbeing
