In any employment dispute, it’s important that you have a clear understanding and control of the likely costs of the legal advice that will help you reach a satisfactory conclusion. We understand the additional stress that concerns about legal costs can bring to an already inflamed situation. That’s why we offer a range of fee options to suit your case, including an initial consultation where we will explore the broad circumstances of your case and its strengths and weaknesses.

In some cases, personal insurance policies provide cover for legal expenses, and we will help you understand any cover you have and how it can be accessed so that you can keep any fee exposure to a minimum. VAT at 20% will be added to our fees and any expenses (disbursements).

Our fee structures include:

• Fixed and staged prices to cover specific steps in a dispute, depending on the amount of work that is required.
• Conditional or damages-based agreements where you only pay our charges if you are successful at tribunal. In these cases, our charges will generally be a third of anything you recover, whether by settlement or judgment. Occasionally there may be additional charges for expert medical reports or fees for counsel, which you will need to pay at the time the cost is incurred. 
In order for us to offer a conditional or damages-based agreement, we will assess both of the prospects of the case and the likely compensation. We will complete this assessment within four weeks of receipt of all relevant documentation and an initial meeting with you. There may be a charge of £350 plus VAT (£420 inclusive of VAT) to undertake this assessment.
• Employment tribunal fees
