Employment Law
Employment Law for employees
Employment law is highly regulated, complex and ever changing.
We provide cost effective employment law advice and guidance on employment rights and, where necessary, in pursuing Employment Tribunal claims. We are also experienced in negotiating Employment Tribunal settlements.
It is worth noting that in pure statistical terms, only approximately 1/3 of employees claims at the Tribunal succeed. This is not to say that a claim is not worth pursuing, but securing a settlement is often the best option for the employee, particularly as the time input and cost of employment tribunal claims, even where there is a no win, no fee agreement in place, often mean that it is in the employee’s interests to settle sooner rather than later.
