What is an employment tribunal?

An employment tribunal is a legal forum for resolving disputes between employees and employers. This could include disputes relating to dismissal, discrimination, and pay and conditions.

Employment tribunals are used to make claims against employers, for issues such as wrongful dismissal, unfair dismissal, discrimination and equal pay. As your employer is likely to have legal representation, it is advisable for you to be represented by a solicitor too.

Your solicitor can help you prepare your claim, which is also advisable as the process can be complex and your claim must be submitted within strict time limits. Getting your claim right is crucial because employees will usually only have one chance to present their claim to the tribunal, and you should present this in the most effective way possible.

What happens at an employment tribunal?

An employment tribunal can seem stressful, as you will probably have to speak to provide your evidence. We can eliminate much of this stress by ensuring you are fully prepared beforehand. Our expert employment solicitors will complete all the claim preparation, draft the legal documentation, draft witness statements, create your schedule of lost earnings and act as your representative or arrange a barrister to act on your behalf at the tribunal.
