What's included
What employment law covers
- Free assessment of the strength of your position
- Settlement agreement advice — usually paid for by your employer
- Tribunal claims prepared, issued and represented
- ACAS early conciliation handled on your behalf
- Negotiation for a better exit than the one on the table

Settlement agreement advice is normally paid for in full by your employer, so it costs you nothing.
Costs are agreed with you in writing before any work begins. Fixed fees wherever the work allows one.
Questions
Employment law — your questions answered
How long do I have to bring a claim?
Three months less one day from the dismissal or the act you are complaining about, and you must start ACAS early conciliation before that runs out. It is a genuinely hard deadline and it is why we ask you to call early rather than wait.
My employer has offered me a settlement agreement.
You are legally required to take independent advice before one is binding, and your employer nearly always pays for that advice. We will tell you whether it is a fair figure — and in a fair number of cases we go back and improve it.
Will I have to face my employer in a tribunal?
Most claims settle before a hearing. Where one does go ahead, tribunals are considerably less formal than a court, and you will be prepared for exactly what happens on the day.

Reviews
What people say about our employment law
“Injured at work and the insurer offered me £2,800 within a fortnight. Marlowe & Finch told me not to touch it, arranged a proper medical report, and settled at a little over five times that. No win no fee meant it cost me nothing to find out.”
Helen guided us towards mediation rather than straight to court, which I did not expect from a solicitor and which saved us thousands and a great deal of bitterness. Sensible, calm and completely straight with me about what was realistic.
Handed a settlement agreement with three days to sign it. They reviewed it same-day, told me the notice figure was wrong, and went back. Ended up with an extra month's pay and a proper reference. My employer paid their fee.
