Pricing: Employment Tribunals
How will I pay for legal representation in an Employment case?
There are a range of options which we can discuss to fund your legal matter. From damaged based agreements (also known as no win no fee), to privately paying employment matters. We would review your matter to ascertain which funding option is best, depending on the specifics of your case.
Can I pay by the hour?
Yes, we offer legal advice at an hourly rate of £250 plus VAT.
Tribunal cases
We will always provide you with an estimate of time for each step of the Tribunal process. We keep records of time spent on your case to deliver clarity for every client.
We would always urge you to consider this option carefully as it can be costly, it may be the case that you wish to do some of the work on your own first and then instruct us to take over the matter at a later date. Again, we would assess your merits and advise you as to the likely cost, step by step.
The cost of taking an employment matter through to a final hearing, can cost anything between £15,000.00 and £50,000.00 (plus VAT). In addition to this there will be Barristers fees and other expenses (also known as disbursements).

Will my insurance pay for my employment case?
It may be the case that your home insurance cover has legal expenses attached. This can be used to cover legal fees relating to employment disputes. We would urge you to check the wording within the policy, if you think legal expenses are covered by your policy we can contact your insurance provider to check that they will indemnify us for our legal fees in representing you.
Where this is the case, your policy will usually offer funding up to a set limit for employment claims that are thought to have a reasonable chance of success (usually over 51%), and which begin after you have exhausted your employer’s internal processes and sought early conciliation through ACAS.
Will you offer me a fixed fee for my case?
In some circumstances, a fixed fee for specific work might be an option for you. We would need to assess the work which you require us to undertake and will provide you with the figure before you commit to us commencing any work on your behalf.
Damaged Based Agreements (DBA)?
In limited circumstances, a damaged based agreement (DBA) (better known as a no win no fee agreement) may be offered to cover your Employment Tribunal. This would only cover our fees, and if you were to win or be offered a settlement, (which was agreeable) we would deduct up to 35% (including VAT) from your settlement or the award you obtain after the final hearing.
A damaged based agreement will not cover your Barristers fees, or any disbursements and therefore they would be covered as a direct cost by you.
