Employment tribunals

Whilst employers may have seen a decline in the volume of litigation following the implementation of tribunal fees, businesses can still face claims or the threat of claims being raised via ACAS.

Litigation can be expensive. We provide our support in a way that works for our clients. For some, we provide a support service to enable them to handle as much of the litigation as they can themselves, keeping costs proportionate. For others, we conduct claims on behalf of clients and represent clients at tribunal.

The investment of time, at our own cost, in getting to know our clients' businesses means that we know and understand their objectives in handling claims. We provide a realistic and commercially robust assessment of the merits of any claim and, in partnership with our client, decide the best tactics for taking the case forward.

This ensures that concerns regarding publicity and principles are embraced from the outset and clients are supported throughout what can be a difficult process.
