Are you thinking of bringing an employment tribunal claim against your employer?  Are you unsure how to prepare it?  Have you issued a claim already and need an expert to prepare your case and represent you on the day?

To achieve the best results in Employment Tribunals, it is crucial to understand how they work. Anyone can fill in a tribunal claim form, but it takes expertise and experience to prepare it in the right way to win a case. Likewise, anyone can represent themselves at their tribunal hearing, but would you be comfortable arguing legal details against a highly qualified solicitor or barrister?

If you are considering bringing an Employment Tribunal claim against your employer, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible because the opportunity to bring a claim has a strict time limit, which will depend on the type of claim and when the relevant events occurred. For any acts that happened after 1 October 2026, the deadline is now six months less one day. However, please be mindful that anything that has happened prior to 1 October 2026 will still have the limitation date of 3 months less one day from that act. Obtaining advice at an early stage can help ensure you do not miss an important deadline.
