NO WIN NO FEE agreements
are generally available in employment law claims and we are able
to deal with claims in any part of England or Wales.
We offer considerable
experience in employment law. We deal with both employer and
employee matters from everyday workplace advise, drafting
documents, through to full representation and advocacy at
employment tribunals.
We have a good record of success in employment
litigation for employees and were very pleased when one of our
principal, Richard Brearley, acted in a case and obtained an
assessment of damages from an employment tribunal of over
£240,000 for one of our clients in a disability discrimination
case dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Richard Brearley also more
recently conducted a case including representing the client at a
three day hearing at the employment tribunal at which he secured
an award of over £74000 against a national estate agency chain
for the unfair dismissal of one of its branch managers.
Most employment tribunal
claims are settled and we do all we can to assess and advise
pragmatically and use our experience to achieve realistic
settlements for our clients, whether employee or employer.
We also have a good
record for employer's cases and have successfully defended
numerous claims against our employer clients, from small high
street businesses to large television studios. We prefer to
focus our clients on prevention and work closely with them and
their human resources departments to achieve this.
We are also experienced in
dealing with compromise agreements for employees or employers.
We also offer NO WIN
NO FEE arrangements in many employment law claims by employees
and we would be happy to give you an initial assessment of your
case.
We are also able to offer training to employers
and their managers in most aspects of an employer's obligations,
both in respect of understanding the rights of employees and in
dealing properly with colleagues in the workplace on a day to
day basis. We have dealt with many claims where the
circumstances upon which the claim is based have arisen directly
as a result of the poor understanding by managers of their
obligations, despite some training, and where the employers are
liable for those actions. Often it is the failure to keep
training and documentation up to date or to rely on employees
reading, understanding, and implementing documentation that
leads to claims. We can help to ensure this does not happen and
please contact us if you wish to discuss your training
requirements.
