Potential Costs and Fees
We know that a primary concern for many people is simply how much a claim will cost. In some cases it may cost more to instruct us than you are likely to be awarded by a Tribunal. If this is the case, then we will advise you of this fact and we can discuss how to proceed. We also understand that, for some people, the crux of the matter is to see the Respondent brought to justice and to have your day in court to tell the world your story.
We strive to keep client costs down, and with low overheads, are able to offer a very competitive fee structure.
You also do not need to pay two lawyers with us, as we undertake all aspects of litigation including representation at Tribunal, saving more fees.
Costs
Contrary to popular belief, an Employment Tribunal claim can be a costly affair and matters become more complicated as the law expands in this area. It is more important than ever to have expert guidance.
It is therefore important to ensure you know that you have a case which is worth running, and one way to do this is to obtain an opinion as to the merits of the claim.
Fees
In order to assist clients, we offer a variety of options in relation to fees, dependant upon circumstances, including the below:
Fixed Fees
We may agree to undertake work for a fixed fee. However, if a fixed fee is agreed between us, then we may request that this be paid in advance of the work being undertaken. We are willing to quote fixed fees for any matter from the drafting of a single individual document such as the Particulars of Claim (known as ET1), or for preparation and attendance at a Preliminary Hearing (which is usually listed to set out case management orders), all the way up to preparation and attendance at a Full Merits Hearing.
We will also consider quoting a fixed fee for any and all work to conclude a case, which would include all documents, correspondence and attendance at hearings.
Hourly Rate
We may agree to undertake work on an hourly rate basis. This rate will be agreed between us and will remain in force for the duration of the time we work for you, and will apply to any and all work undertaken by us on your behalf (unless agreed otherwise).
Please feel free to contact us to discuss fees in more detail.
Insurance
You may have an insurance policy (such as your household insurance) which covers an Employment Law matter under the Legal Expenses section. However, it is vital that you do not fail to lodge a Tribunal claim within the time limit because you are awaiting insurance approval: tribunals do not accept this as a suitable reason to delay and you risk being unable to lodge any claim at all if it is out of time.
If you have such an insurance policy, please let us know as soon as possible.
