Employment law for the individual

We specialise in:

Unfair Dismissal

We represented a client against a Sheffield night club in an Unfair Dismissal claim.  After a two day hearing, with the benefit of our representation, our client was successful in his claim and subsequently received a large amount of compensation.
 
For another of our clients we have recently obtained an Order from the Tribunal that our client be reinstated by her employer and paid a substantial compensation payment. 

Discrimination Law

We represented a doctor who alleged that she was discriminated against and victimised because of her race.  We conducted an Employment Tribunal claim for her and succeeded in getting a high value settlement at a mediation meeting, without the need to go to a Tribunal Hearing.

Compromise Agreements

We acted for a client who had been offered a Compromise Agreement by her employer.  We were able to negotiate for her  more than double the compensation payment the employer was initially prepared to pay and we obtained confirmation from HMRC that the six figure payment could be made tax free.

Handling disputes

Whilst we know that employees do not always want to end up in a legal battle, when this becomes necessary we will ensure that our experienced Tribunal litigators fight to win. We generally conduct our own advocacy, but use a Barrister where appropriate.  We never lose sight of the outcome our clients seek and we therefore take a proactive and robust approach to pursuing cases.

Before we embark on Tribunal litigation, we explore all funding options with our clients to ensure that they get the best value for money.  We often work with legal expenses insurers so that our clients’ claims are funded from the point of issuing proceedings.  We run our cases efficiently and always with regard to balancing costs against benefits to provide value for money for whoever is funding the case.
