Transparency is important to us as understanding your financial obligations is essential. We'll provide you with a detailed estimate of potential costs, including court fees, expert witness fees, and other disbursements. We can then discuss our financing options to help you manage the costs. You may be able to choose from flexible fee arrangements, including hourly rates, fixed fees, and contingency fees.

When Can I Make a Claim?

The time limit for making an employment tribunal claim depends on the type of claim you are making. However, it is generally important to act quickly, as the time limits can be strict. Our solicitors can advise you on the specific time limit for your claim.

ACAS Early Conciliation

Before you can submit an employment tribunal claim, you must first go through ACAS early conciliation. This is a mandatory process aimed at helping parties resolve their disputes without the need for legal proceedings. Our solicitors can guide you through the ACAS early conciliation process.

Can I Use Alternative Dispute Resolution?

In some cases, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods like mediation or arbitration can be a more cost-effective and efficient way to resolve employment disputes. We have experience in these methods and can advise you on whether they are suitable for your case.
