No business is immune from workplace disputes. Even the best manager will, over the course of a career, face the risk of a dispute which could result in legal proceedings.

Instructing a solicitor to defend an employment tribunal claim gives you the best chance of success. We can take on this burden for you, advising you throughout and dealing with the claim, drafting documentation liaising with ACAS and providing representation at the Tribunal if required.
