Rubel Bashir – Partner

I’ve specialised in employment law for over a decade, and in that time, I’ve built a deep understanding of the field. My focus is always helping individuals assert their rights at work, whether that’s through negotiating exit packages or dealing with complex issues like discrimination, unfair dismissal, and whistleblowing.Rubel Bashir

Previously, I headed the employment department for a national law firm, representing clients from all walks of life. I’ve had the privilege of advising everyone from senior executives to everyday employees, ensuring they receive fair treatment in the workplace. I’m proud of the results I’ve achieved, often for clients facing challenging and overwhelming situations.

My Approach

My top priority is providing practical, straightforward advice that makes a real difference. I believe in honesty and transparency with clients, helping them understand their options to find the best possible solution together. I regularly manage cases of discrimination, whistleblowing, grievances, performance issues, disciplinary actions, and dismissals, often representing clients in employment tribunals. My passion for making a broader impact has led me to feature as an expert on national platforms such as the BBC and Sky News, discussing critical employment law issues.

Career Highlights

Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to secure some great results for my clients. Here are a few of the moments I’m most proud of:

  • Successfully securing a reinstatement order and compensation for a client who was unfairly dismissed, after their employer refused to reinstate them.
  • Winning a disability discrimination case that resulted in a settlement of over £250,000.
  • Settling a rare associative discrimination claim before it reached the tribunal stage.
  • Arguing and proving employment status in a complex tribunal case, which led to a significant settlement.
  • Reaching a favourable settlement in a whistleblowing case after nine days of hearings.
  • Succeeding in an appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal in a redundancy consultation case that gained widespread recognition.

“Toner Legal has been 5 star from day one, Blair’s eye for detail and communication skills have been faultless. His ability to communicate complicated legal clauses in simple easy to understand language was a breath of fresh air. Thank you Blair for everything.”

George

“An exceptional Barrister I would highly recommend. Great communication throughout the whole journey. Clear and concise at every stage of the process.”

Lynne

“I came across Toner legal via a Google search online. Sadly I needed their service due to disability discrimination and harassment in the work place. I suffer with anxiety too , however the way Adam conducted himself from start to finish made it less stressful than I initially thought. Although at times I kept email and texting when feeling stressed and confused with how I was being treated by my employer, this was not an issue for Adam. He managed our case and got an excellent settlement.”

Andrew Prime

“I would like to thank Adam, through the support of the firm, Toner Legal, for guiding me through the entire process. The communication, understanding and personable approach was second to none. I would highly recommend the firm’s legal representatives for providing outstanding services.”
