Frequently asked questions

What is the time limit for an employment tribunal claim?+

Most tribunal claims must be started within three months less one day of the event, after going through Acas early conciliation. Because the window is short and strict, it is important to take advice as soon as a problem arises.

Do I have to pay for settlement agreement advice?+

When your employer asks you to sign a settlement agreement, they usually contribute towards your legal advice, which can cover most or all of the cost. Your lawyer will confirm this before you proceed.

Can a lawyer help if I have been unfairly dismissed?+

Yes. A lawyer can assess whether your dismissal was fair, what compensation might be available, and whether to negotiate an exit or bring a tribunal claim. A short consultation gives you a clear, realistic picture.
