Where clients opt not to take insurance cover, our first rate team of employment lawyers will represent you on a fixed fee basis meaning that you can budget for your legal costs safe in the knowledge that the fees will not increase from those quoted no matter how complex the claim turns out to be. Our standard fees are set out below.
Where clients opt not to purchase Employment Practices Liability Insurance, Law At Work can provide employment law advisory clients with advice and representation following receipt of a tribunal complaint, on a pre-agreed fixed charging structure.
Activity:
Submitting the ET3 response £ 750.00
Settlement negotiations and any connected work £ 750.00
Preparation for the hearing (plus reasonable expenses) £ 2,500.00
Representation at the hearing (per day or part thereof) £ 900.00
The above sums are cumulative and exclusive of VAT and expenses. For example, if a claim progressed to a one-day hearing the total legal fees would be: £4,900 plus VAT (plus any reasonable expenses incurred). We would continue to seek to resolve any employment tribunals at as early a stage as we could (including prior to submission of the ET3 if possible) to minimise any expenses incurred
