Employment

The sea changes in legislation and case law, coupled with media interest, can make it difficult to fully understand the legal aspects of employment. The good news is that our employment law team is here to help you decide on the validity of your claim and then guide you through your claim.

Julliz Solicitors advisers’ work starts from the initial impartial advice we provide, to strong and effective representation at the Employment Tribunal.

We advise on:

• Compromise agreements
• Dismissals – constructive, unfair, redundancy and wrongful
• Work place discrimination
• Drafting policies for employers
• TUPE regulation

Because we understand that litigation cost can often make a wrongfully dismissed employee not seek redress, our initial approach is to seek to resolve your dispute with your employer through negotiation. Obviously, we are aware that negotiation may not work in every case and where a claim will unavoidably go before an Employment Tribunal, we can agree to handle your matter on a conditional fee agreement basis subject to our terms and conditions.

Prior to commencement of proceedings in court we charge a fixed fee of £2,000.00 (VAT exclusive). If proceedings are to be issued, then apart from the court fee which is disbursement, we have the following hourly fee regime in place.

How long will my matter take?

It is quite difficult to predict timescales. Nonetheless, the time that it takes from taking initial instructions to the final resolution of a matter depends largely on the stage at which a case is resolved. If a settlement is reached during ACAS pre-claim conciliation, your case is likely to take 6 weeks. If a claim proceeds to a Final Hearing, your case is likely to take up to 2 years. Please bear in mind that this information is merely an estimate, and we will of course be able to give you a more accurate timescale once we have more information and as the matter progresses.
