COMMERCIAL law firm Denison Till has been appointed to a nationwide legal panel set up by the Disability Rights Commission (DRC).
The York firm is one of only 40 in the country to be appointed to the panel, where it will handle employment rights cases.
It enables Denison Till to provide a fast track in arranging funding and having claims heard by the DRC for disabled people who feel they have been discriminated against in business, or as staff or students in the education sector.
The appointment also means that the DRC will pass relevant disability rights claim cases to the firm's employment law department and education team.
Denison Till's appointment to the panel's employment law specialism follows its successful handling of a case last summer when it represented a disabled worker in York in a claim against an employer.
