This work covers disputes arising from work, such as unfair dismissal, discrimination, wage claims, redundancy, and other protected rights, brought in the Employment Tribunal with guidance and support from Acas. A solicitor in this area advises on early conciliation, prepares and submits claims or responses, negotiates settlements, drafts and reviews statements, gathers relevant evidence, and represents or accompanies the client at hearings. Practitioners also advise on how ACAS codes and statutory rights shape the management and resolution of workplace disputes.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles the provisions, procedures and interactions the tribunal system requires: lodging and replying to claims, navigating early conciliation under ACAS, gathering witness statements and pay records, and drafting particular applications or responses. They manage timelines, raise issues such as discrimination or constructive dismissal, and advise on potential settlements or tribunal outcomes, including remedies and enforcement steps. The work hinges on proving or defending liability within statutory frameworks and tribunal rules.
