Employment Tribunals

Sometimes the best outcome for our clients is to take a case to a full hearing in order to set a precedent or as a matter of principle.  We do not do this lightly.  We understand that most clients prefer to resolve issues at an early stage and we always have reputational considerations of our clients at the forefront of our minds. 

Acting for Employers

Our employment lawyers advise employers on pre-litigation action, how to respond to an employment tribunal claim and guide employers through all the stages in employment tribunal litigation from drafting witness statements, to disclosure and how to approach the trial itself.
 
We also help our clients prepare for Employment Tribunal claims by running organisational briefings and mock employment tribunals.  We assist our clients to develop effective policies and procedures for resolving issues before they get to tribunal.

Our lawyers also offer in-house training on the correct procedures, audits of your existing procedures and advice on what actions you need to take to mitigate the risk of claims and employment tribunal proceedings.

Acting for Senior Executives

For senior executives, taking a claim to the Employment Tribunal, no matter what the detail, can be a daunting process.  The law involved is complex and it is advisable to have legal representation to guide you through.

We aim to resolve situations so that you do not have to go to the Employment Tribunal unnecessarily.  However, in some situations a full hearing is the best outcome.

We are experienced litigators in Employment Tribunals proceedings and the High Court.  Our clients often have complex high value claims for which we provide expert guidance.

Our unique perspective, gained from acting for organisations as well as senior employees, means that we provide you with the best possible advice and strategy.
