If ever there is an area of law that is constantly changing then this is it. Whether you are an Employer or an Employee, it is imperative that if there is a problem at work, disciplinary procedures are adhered to. For an Employer it can be a very expensive exercise if those procedures are not carefully adhered to.

Quite apart from disciplinary matters, there may be complaints of sex or racial discrimination. The Employment Tribunal take these complaints very seriously and it is important that you seek legal advice if you are involved in this type of claim.

For Employers we will assess the merits of the claim against you and advise you as to the cost and in particular a recent statutory instrument has come into force where you can now be awarded costs up to £10,000 if the claim that has been brought against you and the Employment Tribunal consider it was misconceived.

For Employees we will advise on how best to bring you claim (generally such claims must be brought within 3 months of the termination of your employment) and how to fund the claim. We can offer a Contingency Fee Agreement whereby we will represent you in return for an agreed percentage of the final award. If the claim is unsuccessful, you will not have to pay our legal costs save disbursements.
