Employment Tribunal claims

Our specialist employment solicitors provide employment advice to employees and employers on Employment Tribunal claims, including claims involving unfair dismissal, constructive dismissal, wrongful dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing, harassment, and victimisation.

Types of employment claims that we deal with

• Unfair dismissal
• Constructive dismissal
• Discrimination
• Harassment
• Victimisation
• Whistleblowing
• Equal pay

Examples of employment matters that we have dealt with

• Tessa: Tessa (not her real name) worked for an energy company. She suffered from a number of mental impairments (including bipolar disorder). She became unhappy at work after perceiving that she was being bullied and facing harassment by her colleagues because of issues caused by her mental health impairments – this included a failure to adjust their expectations and attitude towards her (to account for her mental health impairments), complaints being made when Tessa took medication at her desk, and failing to deal with Tessa fairly when she suffered a bipolar disorder relapse. After a short period of negotiation spanning over a number of months with the business, it was agreed that Tessa would be given a confidential settlement package, including the payment of her notice pay, an ex-gratia (tax-free) payment of almost £80,000
• Rebecca: Rebecca*, a senior employee at a well-known international bank, informed her employer that she was pregnant. After she informed her employer that she was pregnant, she was told that the contract that she was working on was being provided to a new employer and that she would probably be made redundant as a result. Rebecca was not happy with this as she thought her performance had been excellent and that her performance had, in fact, been better than a male colleague who was not being made redundant but who was being redeployed. Rebecca suspected that the decision to make her redundant may have been prompted by the fact that she had made her employer aware that she was pregnant. Her employer then approached her and offered her a settlement agreement. Through negotiations, we managed to increase the financial value of Rebecca’s settlement agreement from approx £18,000 to approx £33,000, as well as to negotiate that Rebecca would receive a reference.

How we charge

We offer our employment law services on an hourly and a fixed fee basis and, when appropriate, use “no win no fee” agreements to fund litigation in the Employment Tribunal.

However, we believe that negotiation is always preferable to litigation in the Employment Tribunal or the civil courts and will try and settle your matter before proceedings are issued if possible. This may involve the drafting, review and signature of a settlement agreement. Once proceedings have been issued we will continue to try and settle your matter through the use of a compromise agreement or COT3 form.
