Employment tribunal claims

Before you can submit a claim to the Employment Tribunal, you are required to notify ACAS (Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service) for Early Conciliation. This is a free service designed to help employees and employers resolve disputes without the need for a tribunal hearing.

Early Conciliation is a vital step because it can save you time, legal fees, and stress if your issue can be resolved amicably. In fact, most cases—around 93%—are settled before they even reach a tribunal.

You’ll need to act quickly, though, as there are strict time limits for notifying ACAS (more on this below). Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through every step to ensure you meet these deadlines.

If your case isn’t settled during ACAS Early Conciliation, you’ll receive an “ACAS Early Conciliation Certificate,” which allows you to proceed with your tribunal claim. At this point, we will prepare and submit your claim to the Employment Tribunal on your behalf. We’ll handle all the paperwork, evidence gathering, and legal arguments to give your case the strongest possible chance of success.

Each type of employment claim has its own timeframe for when you can bring the case forward, and we’ll make sure you don’t miss any critical deadlines. From unfair dismissal to discrimination and beyond, our solicitors are highly experienced in both bringing and defending claims, ensuring you’re fully prepared for what comes next.

If you’ve been dismissed from your job without a valid reason or without following proper procedures, you may feel lost and uncertain about your rights. Unfair dismissal can happen for many reasons, whether it’s due to personal differences, sudden changes in management, or your employer not following legal guidelines. We will work with you to gather the necessary evidence, assess your case, and fight for compensation or even reinstatement if appropriate.

Discrimination at work is not only hurtful, it’s unlawful. If you’ve been treated unfairly due to your race, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion, or any other protected characteristic, you have the right to take action. We understand the emotional toll this can take, and we will support you every step of the way—ensuring your voice is heard and your rights are upheld. Employment laws are there to protect you, and we’ll ensure those laws work in your favour.

Being subjected to bullying or harassment can make even going to work feel unbearable. Whether it’s a colleague, manager, or even a client causing the issue, no one should have to endure a hostile work environment. We take these matters seriously and will act swiftly to help you hold the responsible parties to account. Together, we’ll work towards securing a resolution that ensures your dignity and rights are restored.

Redundancy can be a difficult process, especially when it doesn’t seem fair. If you believe your selection for redundancy was biased or that the process wasn’t handled correctly, you may have grounds for a claim. Whether it’s a lack of proper consultation or unfair treatment compared to other employees, our team will review your situation in detail and help you challenge the decision. Your livelihood matters, and we’re here to protect it.
