Employment tribunal advice for employers
We can provide employment tribunal advice for employers in Ipswich, making certain that employers are aware of their rights and obligations.
At Ashtons Legal, we can assist you to review your case, providing advice on the main strengths and weaknesses, and assessing what your best options are. Our specialists can establish whether or not it is viable to contest the employee’s case, or if exploring settlement options is more appropriate.
We have much experience providing legal advice for employers in tribunals. Our team can also provide general employment law based legal advice, such as the procedures and policies that may help you to avoid employment tribunal claims.
Employment tribunal representation
When you work with us at Ashtons, we will instruct a barrister to represent you at hearing. You can be confident that you’ll be working with a talented and experienced expert, and that you’ll receive excellent representation and support.
We have extensive experience in this area of the law, and will make certain that you are adequately prepared for the tribunal, and that the necessary compliance issues are considered.
If you have any questions regarding employment tribunals, and how the associated stages work, please do not hesitate to contact our employment law team at Ashtons Legal.
Negotiation stages
In order to reach a settlement, we will negotiate on your behalf with the employee and their legal representative. Once a settlement has been agreed upon, your solicitor will draft you a settlement agreement, making certain that the document protects your interests now and in the long term.
The settlement agreement serves to establish the agreed terms. Once both parties have signed, the document is legally binding.
Employment tribunal appeals
If you unfortunately lose your case, our solicitors can support you with employment tribunal appeals. We can assess how likely your appeal would be to succeed, and what your options are from this point forward.
It is only an option to appeal a decision that is based on a point of law, the employment tribunal will not usually intervene with the fact finding case areas.
At Ashtons Legal, we have supported many employers to appeal tribunal decisions, and where we feel that you have grounds for appeal, we can discuss how the process works, supporting you through each phase.
Our employment tribunal solicitors can also provide guidance on related financial matters, for instance, employment tribunal penalties for employers.
