We have an outstanding record of representing employers (respondents) in defending employment tribunal claims, as well as representing employees (claimants) in dispute with their employer.
Many of the cases we handle involve multiple complex claims, including discrimination, whistleblowing and/or equal pay as well as unfair and wrongful dismissal.
We understand that tribunal proceedings can be stressful for both parties, and our goal is to make the process as straightforward and cost-effective as possible.
With a proven track record in handling employment tribunal litigation, including appeals, we aim to resolve claims at an early stage, seeking strike out and costs whenever possible. We frequently achieve favourable outcomes at final hearings.
