Employment Tribunals – Advice & Representation: How we work

An Employment Tribunal claim is usually concluded within 6 months of the claim being issued.

The process involves the following stages:

  1. Preparing and issuing the claim;
  2. Exchanging disclosure and preparing witness statements; and
  • The hearing of the claim.

Claimants are no longer required to pay a fee to issue an Employment Tribunal claim nor a fee for the hearing of the claim. Consequently, the only disbursements which you are likely to incur would be any fees for advice and representation from a barrister.

If you instruct us to represent you in an Employment Tribunal Claim, then our fees are usually calculated according to the hourly rate of Martin Shipway which is £195 per hour plus VAT. Martin is a Director in the firm and an experienced employment lawyer.

Whilst we are unable to confirm the total costs of representation, we estimate that your costs for representation broken down into the above 3 stages usually fall within the following range:

  1. £500-£700 + VAT;
  2. an additional £1,500-£2,500 + VAT; and
  • an additional £1,500-£2,500 + VAT (excluding barristers’ fees).

We estimate that the fee of a barrister for a 1-day final hearing is likely to be within the range of £1,250-£2,000 +VAT.

The typical duration of an Employment Tribunal claim is 6-9 months from the date of issuing the claim form ( ET1) to the date of the final hearing.
