What are your fees?
I will work with you in order to find and agree the funding solution that works best for you. If you would prefer me not to work on an hourly rate I can agree fixed fees for stages of the work and capped fees for each piece of work. That way you will know what your required budget will be to fund my fees and your overall legal costs.

I have a thorough knowledge and experience of the workings of Legal Expenses Insurance cover and I can help you to find a funding solution that is suitable to you and your insurers in Employment Tribunal cases.

Up until now, if your case needed a Barrister you would always be paying for two lawyers rather than one for this reason. Now, under the Direct Public Access Scheme,
What is your complaints procedure?
If you have a complaint it will be treated seriously and will be dealt with within a reasonable time frame. Complaints that are more than 12 months old will not be considered. Initially an informal telephone conversation may resolve the matter. Alternatively, if this is insufficient to resolve the complaint it will be referred to an independent Barrister who will discuss your concerns with you with an aim of resolving them. If you are satisfied with the outcome this will be recorded as such.
