Employment Law UK
“The Government plans to legislate to ban exploitative practices and enhance employment rights”
♕ Mission Statement
Our aim is to advise, support and where necessary provide free advice in employment law and pro bono representation to all our clients in employment matters. This is a clinic run by a non-practising and unregistered barrister, who is permitted to deal with all non-reserved areas of law such as employment law for business. We provide a cost free service to individuals. We also have templates to help you deal with your Employment Law issues and coaching. Our Employment Law Clinic is founded upon a commitment to help and empower people by providing free advice, guidance, templates and a referral to the right “no win no fee” employment solicitor.
♕ Our Ethos
Our reasons for starting the Employment Law UK Clinic are to ensure that others do not suffer disadvantages resulting from lack of advice, due to financial constraints. We are committed to giving advice free of charge. We service West London but also the rest of the UK. We offer low cost resources and offer information to help you bring your claim. This in turn reinforces what the law is about. When we cannot give free advice, we can refer people to the right people, that can offer case management assistance and representation, we can also refer you to the right “no win no fee” employment solicitor.
♕ Prices
Employment Law UK is committed to ensuring that legal advice is available to all people. As part of this commitment, we feel that it is important to provide pricing that is not just straightforward but also transparent. There is no cost associated with using any of the information offered by Employment Law Firms UK. Additional letters, document templates to assist you in finding a solution to your work problems, and coaching are offered as pay-as-you-go services with a fixed price structure. This allows you to get the assistance when you need it throughout the employment dispute process.

♕ How We Can Help
A lot of our clients come to us with employment problems while they are still in employment. We can help draft grievance letters or appeal letters to help you get their voice heard in a disciplinary. We can help clients in a lot of Tribunal cases, for example preparation for trial and representing clients in lengthy trials, witnesses statements, doing legal research, preparing written arguments, and closing speeches.
♕ Case management Support
We can support you with all case management aspects of your case from start to finish. We can conciliate with ACAS prior to bringing a claim in the tribunal, draft your particulars of claim and help lodge your claim, help you correspond with the other side’s legal representatives, or help you prepare witness statements, schedules of loss, list of issues and bundle preparation for trial.
♕ Representation at Tribunal
We have represented numerous clients in Tribunal’s all over London pro bono and have wide knowledge of how Tribunals work. We can provide support in the form of advocacy at trial, preliminary hearing, or directions hearing, drafting full skeleton arguments and cite case law. Our success rate is high, and we always support our clients find a remedy they are looking for.
♕ DOCUMENT REVIEW
You will be obligated to submit documents, including a claim form, a detailed chronology of events, a letter of disciplinary action, and any grievance that has been raised with an outcome or appeal. These materials will serve as the foundation for your assessment of the potential merits. Obtain the coaching of a lawyer who is knowledgeable about the claims you are making. For the purpose of ensuring that you have all of the evidence you need to support your case, you should do a document review. In addition, this is the first stage in the process of compiling a list of documents that will be included in the case management orders issued by the Employment Tribunal. The production of a list of issues, which is something that would be asked at a preliminary hearing, will also be facilitated by this. You also need to be aware of the papers that you will be relying on at the final hearing.
♕ Merits of claim
Determine if you should go to the Tribunal, whether you should settle, or whether you should continue with the case. Obtain a professional review of the prospective validity and merit of your case, as well as strategic guidance for the actions that should be taken in the future. A legal professional is going to give careful consideration to both your claim and the proof that you have presented. We will give an explanation of the merits of your claim and argument, as well as advice for the further actions that should be taken, such as what evidence has to be acquired or if you have overlooked anything. This phone call will last for one hour, during which we will go over your claims, outline the subsequent steps, and talk about the approach.
♕ Employment Law Coaching
Please be advised that if you send us a lot of information or your query is sufficiently complex, we may not be able to address everything in the free 30-minute consultation. After examining your query, we will let you know in advance if this is the case. You will then have the option to continue receiving employment law coaching if it is necessary for us to assess and examine your case and provide preliminary guidance. Usually, this comes with a price tag of £75 –100. Conversely, an issue that is simpler and self-contained could be free. There will most likely be more in a case with a complicated past and many issues.
We can support individuals with any employment law issues such as wrongful dismissal, unfair dismissal, disciplinary, discrimination, harassment, victimisation and redundancy. We have supported numerous clients get settlements from their employers through Early Conciliation and have a work with ACAS.
♕ Legal Advice for Businesses
We offer free employment law advice for employers. The set up and life of a business requires the business owner to undertake compulsory steps for which legal advice is essential. An employment claim brought by an employee can be quite costly because legal fees typically can run into tens of thousands of pounds. In addition, if you are unsuccessful, you will be required to pay any award that has been awarded against you. It is not possible to recoup the legal cost that employers have incurred.
We offer advice to all businesses in employment law. Our advice may support the creation of significant documents in an employment matter such as an ET3, cost warnings, applications to the tribunal such as a strike or deposit order. Moreover, helping employment relationships that require contractual terms such as drafting contract of employment, handbooks and policies and procedures.
