Quoted case by case
There is currently no fee to bring a claim in the employment tribunal.
What is included
Taking initial instructions, reviewing documents and advising on merits and likely compensation (which may be revisited as the case develops); entering into pre-claim conciliation with Acas; preparing the claim or response; reviewing and advising on the other side’s documents; exploring settlement throughout; preparing and agreeing the list of issues, schedule of loss and bundle; preparing witness statements; reviewing and advising on the other side’s statements; agreeing the bundle; preparation for the final hearing including instructions to counsel; and attendance at the final hearing.
What is not included
Advice on the tax treatment of any settlement; appeals to the Employment Appeal Tribunal; enforcement of an award that is not paid; and applications for costs.
Key stages and timescales

1–2 weeks from instruction
Acas early conciliation
Up to 12 weeks
Issuing the claim, and the response
4–6 weeks
Case management and preliminary hearings

Final hearing
Commonly 9–18 months from issue
A matter that settles at conciliation may conclude in 6–12 weeks. A matter that runs to a contested hearing commonly takes 9–18 months, and longer where the tribunal’s listing is congested. We will give you an estimate for your own matter at the outset and revise it if the position changes.

Judicial review
Hourly — see our rates
Where a matter is more complex than a standard application — a previous refusal, a gap in residence, a criminal record, a complex corporate structure — we say so before you commit and quote separately.
Disbursements
Home Office application fees, the Immigration Health Surcharge, biometric enrolment, translation and certification, and counsel’s fees where an appeal requires representation. These change regularly, so we confirm the current figures for your matter before you commit.
What is included
Advising on the route and on eligibility; a document checklist and review of what you provide; completing and submitting the application; a covering letter setting out how the requirements are met; and correspondence with the Home Office until a decision.
What is not included
Any further application if this one is refused; appeals or administrative review, which are quoted separately; and advice on tax or on matters outside the application.
Key stages and timescales
Stage
Typical time

Court fees are additional and are calculated on the value of the claim. Interest and compensation may be recoverable under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
Key stages
Taking instructions and reviewing the documents; sending a letter before action; issuing a claim where no payment is received; entering judgment in default, or advising on a defence if one is filed; and taking steps to enforce.
Timescales
An undisputed debt paid after a letter before action typically resolves in 4–8 weeks. A defended claim becomes litigation and is charged hourly — we tell you at that point.

If you remain dissatisfied you may take the complaint to the Legal Ombudsman, and you may report conduct concerns to the Solicitors Regulation Authority at any time. Both routes are set out in full in our complaints procedure.
