Services for employees
Most situations are resolved amicably. If that can’t be achieved, we can guide you through your options and your realistic prospects of succeeding in an Employment Tribunal claim. Whilst claims will usually be a last resort, if needed we can prepare, submit and handle the legal aspects of your claim, including representation at any hearings.
If you are offered a settlement agreement by your employer, you will be required to take legal advice on the agreement before you accept the terms. The employer usually pays at least a contribution towards your legal costs which minimises, and sometimes removes, any personal liability for legal costs. we advise never to accept the first offer – there is often room for negotiation to improve the outcome.
You will find us friendly, easy to understand and efficient at moving your matter along to a conclusion. Click the tab on the right hand side of this page to see what other clients have said about us and the services we have provided to them.

Our first telephone conversation will always be free of charge. If further advice is required, our basis of charging will be agreed with you in advance, whether that is a fixed fee, a capped rate fee (you pay for our time up to an agreed maximum) or fees based on the amount of time spent advising you.
If your work involves an Employment Tribunal claim, your legal costs may be met either in full or in part by your insurer if you have legal expenses insurance cover. You may not realise you have this cover so it is always worth checking your house insurance policy.
