FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to bring an employment tribunal claim?

Most claims must be brought within three months less one day of the act complained of, though extensions may apply in limited circumstances. Early advice is essential.

Do you represent both employees and employers?

Yes. We advise employees on unfair dismissal, discrimination, and settlement agreements, and support employers with contracts, disciplinaries, grievances, and tribunal defence.

What is a settlement agreement?

A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract that usually ends the employment relationship on agreed terms. You must receive independent legal advice before signing.

Can you help before a matter reaches tribunal?

Yes. We often resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation, or ACAS early conciliation, which can save time and cost compared with full tribunal proceedings.
