Bringing an employment tribunal claim

If you are in a situation where you are thinking of bringing an Employment Tribunal claim, it’s important that you have the right people on your side. We are experienced Employment Tribunal advocates and have represented employees on a wide range of issues, including:

• Unfair dismissal (including automatically unfair dismissal on the grounds of pregnancy and TUPE)
• Breach of contract
• Discrimination
• Whistleblowing
• Protective awards
• Multiple or group claims

We are happy to provide full representation, including conducting advocacy at any Employment Tribunal hearings. Alternatively, to save costs we also offer clients the option of taking our advice on particular aspects of the claim, such as:

• Advising on the merits of a potential claim
• Preparation of or advice on the claim itself (the ET1 claim form)
• Settlement negotiations (where appropriate)
• Advice and assistance with the preparation of documentation
• Advice and assistance with witness statements

We can give fee estimates for representing you in full or for particular stages – please contact us for further information.

If you have insurance cover then you may be able to instruct us under the terms of your insurance policy – please contact us to discuss this further.

Settlement agreements for employees & workers

As specialist employment law solicitors, we are experts in dealing with Settlement Agreements (previously known as Compromise Agreements). If you’ve been given a Settlement Agreement, you’ve definitely come to the right place.

Settlement Agreements can be used in lots of different situations and everyone’s circumstances are unique, so it is important to get the right advice. We understand that it may be a difficult time and the process can be confusing, but we are here to help you and explain it all. Our friendly team of solicitors advise on hundreds of Settlement Agreements each year, covering everything from straightforward voluntary redundancies to high-value complex disputes.

We regularly act for clients all over England and Wales and can advise you by telephone, email or online meeting (Zoom/Teams/Skype etc.), whatever suits you best.

Whatever your situation, our solicitors take the time to discuss the terms of the Settlement Agreement with you. We can advise you on issues such as notice pay, bonuses, employee benefits and potential claims. Unlike some other firms, we will talk you through your options and, where appropriate, we can negotiate with your employer to ensure you get the best possible deal.
