Employment

At Brittons we understand how important it is to keep abreast of important developments in workplace legislation, to be able to best advise clients and ensure a smooth transition for both employers and employees.

We can provide legal advice, employment tribunal representation, and draft or advise on employment contracts, settlement agreements and other employment related documents for both employers and employees.

Whether you are looking for information about Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment, Discrimination, or Rights at Work call us on 01494 730 722 for a free no obligation consultation about how we can help you.

Employment tribunal cases usually cost around £3500 (including VAT). This is, however, an average cost and every case is different. A very simple case may cost significantly less, whilst very complicated ones cost £15,000 or more. If the case goes to a hearing of any kind you will also need to consider paying for a barrister to represent you, which will cost around £500 for a simple hearing and over £1000 for a complex one. We will, of course, discuss all of these costs with you at the time.

If you are an employee entering into a settlement agreement with your employer we will always try and advise you for the amount of the contribution to fees offered by your employer (which is typically around £600). However, if this is not possible we will always discuss options with you.
