Labor arbitrations cover disputes between employers and workers resolved through private arbitration rather than courts. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates arbitration clauses, selects arbitral institutions, prepares evidence, and represents the client in hearings under the Arbitration Act 1996, often with employment relations as the subject. They manage witness lists, expert reports, and interim relief applications, and they obtain and enforce arbitral awards. Practical factors include the speed of proceedings, confidentiality, and the enforceability of awards.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Arbitration involves drafting the arbitration clause, selecting the arbitral rules, and assembling evidence such as contracts, payroll records, and witness statements. The solicitor handles pleadings, submissions, and hearings, coordinates with the opposing party, and seeks interim measures or security for costs. The process is governed by the Arbitration Act 1996 and may be influenced by ACAS guidelines or specified arbitral institutions.
