EMPLOYMENT LITIGATION

Our primary aim is to help you avoid litigation before it happens. Day to day, we draw on years of experience in navigating people issues, to ensure non-contentious solutions for our clients wherever possible.  

Unfortunately, however, there are some situations where litigation is unavoidable. In those circumstances, we step in to give clients practical, robust and strategic advice throughout the life cycle of the tribunal process – from early negotiations via ACAS to the day of the tribunal hearing.

Every lawyer in our team has extensive experience of managing employment tribunal claims. We are acutely aware not only of the legal issues, but also of the commercial and reputational considerations involved in litigation. You can be reassured by our excellent success rate, and the fact we will fight fiercely on your behalf to secure the best possible outcome for your business.
