Employment tribunal solicitors service
Employment tribunal advice for employers
Our expert solicitors can offer detailed and bespoke legal advice for employers in employment tribunals, ensuring that they appreciate their obligations and rights. We can help you to review your case, advising you on the key strengths and weaknesses, and informing you of your options.
Our team can help you to determine whether or not it is wise to contest the employee’s case against you, or if considering viable settlement options is a better strategy.
We can also provide general employment law based legal advice, including, the policies and procedures that can help you to avoid employment tribunal claims.
Employment tribunal representation
It is our usual practice to instruct a barrister to represent you at a hearing. We work with talented and experienced experts, and can assure you that you’ll receive outstanding support.
Your barrister will robustly represent you, putting forward your case, and working towards a best case scenario outcome.
We have much expertise in this area of employment law and will ensure that you have a detailed understanding of the processes, and that all relevant compliance issues are met.
Negotiation stages
Your legal representative will negotiate with the employee and their own solicitor, working towards a settlement option. Once a settlement has been reached, we will draft a settlement agreement, ensuring that the document best protects your interests moving forward.
The settlement agreement is used to establish the terms that have been decided upon, and once both parties have signed, the agreement becomes legally binding.
Employment tribunal appeals
As part of our employment tribunal service for employers, we provide assistance with employment tribunal appeals. Where you are unsatisfied with the outcome of the employment tribunal, and you would like to appeal, we can advise you on how likely your appeal would be to succeed.
It is worth noting that, it is only possible to appeal a decision on a point of law, the tribunal will not usually intervene with the fact finding areas of the case.
We have helped many employers to appeal tribunal decisions, and where we believe that you have grounds for appeal, we can discuss how the process works, guiding you through each stage.
Our team can also provide advice on financial matters such as employment tribunal penalties for employers who lose claims.
