Employee Legal Support
The thought of taking legal action against your employer may seem daunting but with the right help, it can be made easy. But, making a claim can often be crucial to protecting your financial security, career prospects, and legal rights.
However, our employment law experts understand it’s natural to feel concerned about the financial implications of taking legal steps, especially if you’re now out of work due to a dispute.

Employment tribunal solicitors – unfair dismissal & discrimination claims
We offer an initial case review for employment tribunal matters, along with transparent fixed fees for the legal work needed for your potential claim. Costs are calculated depending on whether your claim relates to unfair/constructive dismissal or discrimination.
The difference in costing is because discrimination claims are more time-consuming and usually require a larger attendance at a Tribunal hearing and greater legal resources.
Around 80% of our client’s Employment Tribunal claims settle before the final hearing. We have broken down the key steps in an Employment Tribunal claim and shown what is included as well as pricing.
All email and telephone correspondence between each step is included free of charge.
