Costs are an important consideration in Employment Tribunal proceedings as it can still be difficult to obtain a significant contribution towards costs from your opponent, even if you are successful with the claim at a final hearing.
At the outset of the matter you will be provided with a fee estimate based upon our experience in dealing with similar matters in the past. If we cannot give an estimate for the whole case, we will tell you the likely cost for the next stage.
We can also act under a legal expenses insurance policy (often included in many home insurance policies) where the insurer meets our fees. This means there is usually nothing for you to pay, subject to any excess or particular terms under the policy.
We always look to tailor costs to suit a client’s particular needs and will explore the funding options available, whether that means acting for free under an insurance policy, agreeing fixed-fees or a setting cap on costs so that they remain within your budget.
