How to get a work settlement or win at Tribunal

(Without spending £££ on lawyers)

🤯 Overwhelmed and confused?

Managing an employment dispute or representing yourself in an employment tribunal can be daunting. It’s difficult to know where to turn for help.

  • The government website is basic and unhelpful
  • Solicitors are expensive and gatekeep information
  • YouTube videos are poor quality and surface level
  • Social media is full of bad advice from questionable people

😟 Worried about potential spiralling costs?

If you don’t know what you’re doing, you could end up paying thousands of pounds to pursue a Tribunal claim. This is the last thing you need if you’ve lost your job.

  • Employment solicitors charge £380+ per hour
  • No Win No Fee often request 30%+ of any compensation
  • Cost orders can be made against you if you don’t follow the rules or act vexatiously

You’re not alone. 41% of claimants represented themselves in 2023/2024!
