Defending your business
As a business, when a claim from the Employment Tribunal lands in the post it can be a very worrying time not only in terms of the financial risks involved but the hassle of having to deal with it or instructing a Solicitor to deal with it and all that it involves.
If you get an Employment Tribunal claim do seek out professional advice as it is likely that the concerns you have will be unwarranted and the adviser will be able to put your mind at ease as to the process and the risks. Employment Tribunals are set up so that you can represent your business, you don’t need a lawyer. But whilst the Tribunal may be set up to represent yourself, employment law unfortunately is not. It is an increasingly complex area of law where professional legal advice is well worth paying for but it needn’t cost a fortune.
