Get matched for unfair dismissal →You must take independent legal advice on a settlement agreement before signing it for the document to be binding. Most employers pay your legal fees as part of the settlement. We match you with a firm that handles these efficiently.

Get matched for constructive dismissal →The Equality Act 2010 protects against discrimination on nine protected characteristics including sex, race, age, disability, religion and pregnancy. Discrimination claims do not require minimum service and can be brought even if you were not dismissed.
Get matched for discrimination claim →Sham redundancy — where the reason is unfair dismissal dressed up as redundancy — is one of the most common employment claims. We match you with a firm that can assess whether your redundancy was genuine.
Get matched for redundancy advice →Workers who make protected disclosures are protected from detriment and dismissal under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998. Whistleblowing claims have no minimum service requirement and uncapped compensation.
Get matched for whistleblowing claim →Before lodging an employment tribunal claim you must notify ACAS for early conciliation. ACAS pauses the limitation period while they try to negotiate. Even if early conciliation does not settle the matter, you need the ACAS certificate to lodge the claim. We match you with firms experienced in running ACAS conciliation alongside tribunal preparation.
Even after your claim has been lodged, the tribunal may offer judicial mediation — a confidential session led by an employment judge that can settle the matter without the cost, time and stress of a full hearing. Many claims settle this way. A specialist firm can advise you on whether judicial mediation suits your situation and represent you through it.
