Employment & HR Services

CJCH’s employment team are highly experienced and skilled in all aspects of employment law and the provision of HR legal services.

We act for a wide range of employers from SMEs to household name companies, universities and public sector organisations. We form in-depth personal relationships with our clients to enable us to become an extension of your business and internal HR function.

We take the time to understand your business as well as the aims and outcomes you want and need to achieve.  We then advise you on all your available options and provide high quality, strategically effective advice at every step of the process.

Our efficient, and cost-effective services can be delivered on a retainer or fixed cost basis to suit your operational preferences and budgetary needs.

Employment law is rapidly changing and developing as a result of frequently altering legislation and case law. All employers need to be up to date with these changes to prevent unnecessary cost, adverse publicity and damage to your business.

We will provide you with all the specialist advice you need to ensure compliance and minimise risk.

Sound like the kind of expertise and added value you need to help you manage and control the personnel aspects of your business?  Good – we’re on the same page already.

Practice Area – Employment Tribunals (Unfair/Wrongful dismissal)

Employment disputes require a range of interrelated services and, based on the approach of the opposing side, can escalate in timeline and associated costs. The Employment law team at CJCH Solicitors focuses on advising our clients on realistic expectations and keeping them informed and up to date.

When will payments be required?

When will payments be required?

• Once the client has instructed the firm to act on their behalf, an up-front fee of £300.00 (ex VAT) would be required on account to start proceedings
• The fees will thereafter be billed periodically during proceedings
• The balance of fees will be expected prior to any final hearing

(In certain circumstances, we may consider taking on the matter on a contingency fee basis after initial assessment – T&C’s will apply. For conditional or damages-based fees, fees must be paid if the client choses not heed our advice, or if the client decides to stop proceedings).

What are the key milestones/stages to be aware of?

Time frame of proceedings is likely to be between six and twelve months (should it look like it would exceed this, we will advise accordingly).

Notes

Fees are not recoverable in tribunal hearings (i.e. costs are unlikely to be awarded). As a firm, we always endeavour to resolve the matter, but some matters do escalate to a full tribunal.  We always look for the best interests of our clients in terms of costs and fees.
