Employment tribunal and court services

Employment tribunal and Civil Court claims can be the source of much disruption, anxiety and cost, often leading to poor staff morale and (more significantly) damage a client’s reputation or brand.

With the right strategic and tactical advice from Hill Dickinson, many claims can be successfully resisted or settled at an early stage.

Hill Dickinsons's employment team
We have more than 30 specialist employment lawyers who can guide clients safely through the litigation process as it applies to any aspect of employment law, including employment tribunal and court services.

Our advice is pragmatic and commercially driven. We will discuss a client’s requirements and objectives and deliver a realistic assessment of their case at the outset, enabling clients to reach an informed decision regarding what they want to achieve and how to proceed.

If settlement is the preferred option, we have considerable experience in negotiating and resolving disputes prior to a hearing. When settling is not an option, our own team of specialist advocates are on hand to represent clients at every stage of the case.
