Employment Tribunal Representation
Start by having the right team in your corner
Having represented employers in more than 4,000 Employment Tribunal cases, EML has a proven track record of securing the best possible claim outcomes. Our experience and expertise in Employment Law advocacy means our clients are in good hands when it comes to defending claims.
Preparing a response to the claim
We make sure that a comprehensive response is submitted within 28 days of the claim notification, addressing all relevant issues to protect your interests.
Reviewing and advising on the claim’s merits
Our team evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the claim, advising you on potential risks and outcomes to help you make informed decisions.
Managing document disclosure
We handle the full disclosure process, ensuring all required documents are provided, protecting your business and complying with legal requirements.
Witness interviews and statements
Being a witness in Employment Tribunal proceedings is a daunting process. We conduct thorough witness interviews, prepare detailed witness statements, and provide essential briefings to ensure your witness evidence is as robust as possible, and that your witnesses are fully prepared for the hearing.
Settlement negotiation
We explore all possible settlement options, negotiate on your behalf, and (where settlement is reached) draft robust agreements to protect your business.
Legal Advocacy
Our trained ET specialists will represent you at all hearings, ensuring that your case is presented in the best light possible.
With our Employment Protection Scheme, in partnership with Albion Legal*, you can have the confidence that you won’t be hit by hefty legal costs or Employment Tribunal awards. Designed to complement the flexible, business-focused advice we provide, cover can be provided for all legal fees and awards if you are faced with a claim, provided that it has a reasonable prospect of success. This allows you to focus on what matters most: running your business.
