We provide a wide range of employment law services, their costs depend on the nature and complexity of such matters and are normally calculated by reference to hourly rates of those dealing with them.

Each employment situation is different, and the costs have to be assessed individually, however the table below shows estimated costs for bringing and defending Employment Tribunal claims.

These costs differ depending on the nature and complexity of such claims.

Typically, the claims will be divided into the following categories:

  • Simple case: contract claims (unpaid wages/unpaid holiday pay/unpaid notice pay)
  • Medium complexity case: unfair dismissal or constructive unfair dismissal. Sometimes these cases also contain the above claims.
  • High complexity case: discrimination, victimisation, harassment, whistleblowing.

Complex cases can be challenging for several reasons, such as needing to amend claims, defending against litigants in person, or navigating costs applications.

While our cost estimates cover overall expenses, including attendance at hearings, it’s important to remember that there may also be additional costs for barristers or experts that we’ll need to factor in.
