Employment Law

Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal Representation

Conducting All Manner of Employment Claims

I have won a series of Employment Tribunal trials in recent years. I regularly represent employers and executive employees as an advocate and I will prepare your case right up to the final hearing. In asking me to take up your case you will know that you have one lawyer you can rely upon as conducting it throughout.

In regularly appearing in Tribunal hearings I deal with all manner of employment claims and for this reason I am familiar with the manner in which cases are dealt with by Employment Judges. I prepare claims for individuals and the defence of claims on behalf of employers and I will personally represent you at the Tribunal hearings.

A Wealth of Employment Law Experience

I have up to date knowledge of employment law as shown in my article on ill-health and capability dismissals published in Tolley’s Employment Law Journal and on Age Discrimination published in the Solicitors Journal.

I can advise you on bringing and defending discrimination claims. I can draw on the experience of having achieved a number of good settlements in discrimination claims after intensive negotiations in the offices of city law firms and of having fought discrimination and unfair dismissal claims in long and hotly contested hearings with continuous success.

How I Can Help You to Defend or Pursue Claims

Helping You Through the Legal Minefield

The press coverage of Employment Tribunal hearings means that employees are increasingly becoming aware of their rights to claim compensation from their employers and sometimes the sensational headlines mean that the decision of the Employer to contest the case can appear to be questionable.

Whatever decision you decide to make in fighting the case, in reaching a settlement or in pursuing an Employment Tribunal claim I will support and help you pick your way through the legal minefield that employers and employees now face.

Unfair Redundancy & Unfair Dismissal

In these fragile economic times employers are faced with the task of understanding the rules and procedures they must follow in making sure that a redundancy is fair and cannot be challenged at the Employment Tribunal.

The employee can claim that he or she was unfairly dismissed for redundancy because:

The Employment Tribunals' Powers to Award Costs and to Stop a Claim Without Merit

Employment Tribunals now have the power to award costs against the unsuccessful party but this award will only be made if the Claimant employee or the Respondent employer has pursued a “misconceived” claim or defence to a claim. Cases will proceed to a hearing unless the Employment Tribunal decides that the case should not be allowed to proceed or the opposing party successfully applies for the case to be struck out. I have experience of dealing with the way in which Tribunals deal with these issues and I will advise you on the basis of my experience.
