Guiding you through dispute resolution and tribunal preparation

We support you from the initial claim through negotiation, mediation, or tribunal hearing, making the process as manageable as possible.

Employment disputes are rarely straightforward. At Pinney Talfourd, we guide you through every phase – from assessing the merits of your claim, compiling evidence, drafting your case, to preparation for hearings. We aim to resolve matters swiftly where appropriate, using mediation or settlement talks, but we stand ready to advocate robustly should the matter proceed to tribunal.

From the outset, we set a clear strategy and timeline and keep you fully informed about prospects and risks. We manage the procedural detail – drafting submissions, handling disclosure, preparing witness statements and hearing bundles – so you can focus on the bigger picture.

. Where specialist input will strengthen your case, we coordinate expert witnesses and ensure their evidence is clear, relevant and persuasive. We also prepare you carefully for preliminary and final hearings, so you feel confident and ready on the day. Throughout, we adopt a collaborative approach, listening carefully to your goals while providing clear, honest advice about the strengths and potential challenges of your case.

We appreciate how important these moments are – not only legally but personally. Our focus is on delivering not just excellent legal advice but also long-term peace of mind and partnership. Whether your claim relates to unfair dismissal, discrimination, or contractual issues, we bring experience, dedication, and genuine care to every step.

Employment tribunal claims FAQs

We understand you might be looking for answers, so we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help get you started.

What types of employment tribunal claims can you help me with?

We assist with a broad range of employment tribunal claims including unfair dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing, breach of contract and redundancy disputes.

How quickly should I act after an employment issue arises?

Tribunal time limits are usually three months less one day from the act you are complaining about; ACAS Early Conciliation can pause this clock. Contact us promptly so we can advise you accurately and protect your rights.

What compensation could I receive?

It depends on the claim. Unfair dismissal includes a basic and a compensatory award (subject to caps). Discrimination compensation is uncapped and may include injury to feelings. Some claims also allow for aggravated damages or recommendations.

How much will it cost and are funding options available?

We provide clear cost estimates and updates. Funding may be available via legal expenses insurance, union support or, in some cases, alternative fee arrangements.

Will I have to pay the other side’s costs if I lose?

Costs orders are rare but possible where a party behaves unreasonably. We advise on risk and conduct throughout.

Do I need legal representation for an employment tribunal?

While not mandatory, having experienced legal support significantly improves your chances of success and reduces the stress of navigating the process.

How does Pinney Talfourd ensure confident communication?
