Being dismissed by your employer can be a very stressful experience. To help you understand whether your have been treated fairly within the meaning of the law, it can really help to ask the opinion of a specialist employment solicitor who can advise you on whether or not you may have the basis of a successful claim for unfair dismissal in the Employment Tribunal.
If you do have the basis of a successful claim, we can discuss your options which are likely to include pursuing your claim to an Employment Tribunal, or negotiating a settlement with your employer, usually by means of a compromise agreement. We can advise you on the time limits for bringing a claim, and the likely amount of compensation to be awarded by an Employment Tribunal should your claim be successful.
In practice, many employees who do have the basis of successful claim against their employer prefer if possible, to negotiate a settlement of their claim in order to avoid the cost, stress and work involved in preparing for a court case, which will often take many months. We are very experienced in negotiating settlements in these circumstances.
In cases where you decide to pursue your claim to the Employment Tribunal, we will advise you on the conduct of your claim from the initial stages right through to the hearing itself. With your agreement, we usually advise on instructing specialist Counsel to conduct advocacy on your behalf.
In the first instance please don't hesitate to call us on 0845 603 0708 or complete the Enquiry form on the right and we'll call you.
