We have extensive experience in the Employment Tribunal.

It's not possible for you to keep up with all the changes and developments in these areas whilst you run your business. In the last 20 years the introduction of hundreds of rules and regulations which influence the employer/employee relationship have completely changed the scene at work.

We would much rather tell you about weakness in your employment policies and procedures now rather than when you go to the Employment Tribunal.

We can undertake an employment law audit, a close legal inspection of all your policies and procedures, to make sure they comply. This legal audit will probably be very much cheaper than you would expect and could save you very large amounts of money in the future.

FEES
In appropriate circumstances we will act on a discounted fee arrangement or a contingency (no win no fee) agreement.

If you are a Director/Senior employee with a grievance against your employee which gives rise to a claim in an Employment Tribunal, we may be prepared to offer you a "no win no fee" agreement which means we will only be paid if your case is won. In the case of a "no win no fee" agreement you would purse an agreed percentage of your damages recovered. You always have to bear in mind that, if you have an extremely good case, you may be better off with "pay as you go" - the normal option when instructing solicitors.

If you are an employer defending a claim brought against your company, we will consider a "discounted fee arrangement" where we charge a nominal fee and only charge you our normal fee if we obtain a successful result.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We always need to see you face to face before agreeing to act for you. We do not charge for an initial interview. We will not start the fees "meter" until we have established our expectations on both sides, confirmed that we are able to assist you, and reached an agreement with you.
