If you’ve experienced unfair treatment at work and haven’t been able to resolve the issue, you may be entitled to bring a claim before an employment tribunal. At Hutchinson Thomas, we provide expert legal advice and representation throughout the tribunal process—helping you understand your rights, prepare your case, and pursue fair compensation.
We regularly support clients with:
• Unfair and constructive dismissal claims
• Discrimination and harassment cases
• Wage disputes and breach of contract
• Preparing for tribunal hearings and appeals
Our team will guide you through each stage—from early advice and negotiation to full representation at tribunal if needed.
Not all employment disputes need to go to tribunal. We can help you explore early resolution options, including:
• Grievance procedures
• ACAS Early Conciliation
• Settlement agreements
If your employer is open to negotiation, we’ll work to secure a fair settlement and advise you on the implications of signing any agreement.
Strict time limits apply to employment tribunal claims, so it’s important to act quickly. We’ll help you:
• Prepare a clear and accurate account of your complaint
• Gather supporting evidence and documentation
• Submit your claim within the required timeframe
Once your employer responds, we’ll review their defence, prepare your case for hearing, and represent you at tribunal. If a last-minute offer is made, we’ll advise you on whether it’s fair and in your best interests.
If you win your case, your employer may offer a settlement before the tribunal imposes one—this could include additional benefits such as a reference. If either party is unhappy with the outcome, we’ll advise you on the possibility of an appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal.
• Clear, practical advice tailored to your situation
• Strong track record in employment law disputes
• Support with negotiation, tribunal preparation, and representation
