Employment Tribunals and Dispute Resolution
Providing expert guidance, advice, and support to you every step of the way
Dispute Resolution
At ESP Solicitors, we work closely with our clients to help minimise legal disputes arising wherever possible. However, sometimes litigation is unavoidable.
All of our lawyers are experienced in dispute resolution and are ready to guide you through the litigation process, providing expert guidance, advice, and support every step of the way.
Support for Employment Claims
We have extensive experience defending employment tribunal claims, including those for unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, equal pay, and complex discrimination or whistleblowing cases that often involve career losses. Our strong track record extends to representing clients in appellate tribunals and courts, all the way up to the Supreme Court.
Lifecycle of a Tribunal claim
We guide our clients through the lifecycle of a tribunal claim, from receiving a claim to preparing for and attending the final hearing, and handling costs and appeals. Our advice is always backed by a clear and robust legal strategy.
High Court and County Court litigation
Not all employment claims are brought before employment tribunals. We also represent clients in a wide range of employment-related claims typically heard in other forums, including:
Commercially-focused advice
We consider our clients’ commercial and organisational needs, including reputation management, the impact on affected employees, and operational disruptions.
Settlement support with cost clarity
We consider settlement where appropriate and will provide routine cost updates to keep matters under control. Take a look at our pricing page for indicative costs.
Alternative dispute resolution
Many work-related issues are best resolved outside formal legal proceedings. We offer advice and support on all types of mediation, as well as alternative dispute resolution services, tailored to your organisation’s specific needs. For more information, please visit our Mediation services page.
