Employment Tribunal Support
All the way from Claim Assessment to Final Hearing

An early, honest evaluation of whether your case has real legal standing — before you spend months on a claim that may be struck out.

• Review of dismissal letters, employment contracts, and grievance outcomes
• ACAS Early Conciliation advice — what settlement figure to aim for during the mandatory ACAS phase
• Merit Report: a candid Green / Amber / Red assessment of your legal position

We validate your legal position, not just your feelings. If the case is weak, we will tell you clearly — saving you the emotional and financial cost of a lost hearing.

The ET1 form is the foundation of your entire case. If the Particulars of Claim are vague or miss key legal points, your case can be dismissed before it starts.

• Drafting the formal chronological narrative of the legal breach
• Schedule of Loss — detailed calculation of notice pay, holiday pay, and Vento band awards for injury to feelings (discrimination cases)
• Ensuring all statutory deadlines are identified and met

We provide the professional drafting. As the Claimant, you are responsible for the final submission via the Government portal.

The Preliminary Hearing is where the Judge sets the rules and deadlines for your case. Getting this stage right determines what evidence you'll have access to at trial.

• Drafting the List of Issues and Agenda for the Preliminary Hearing
• Coaching on how to present yourself to the Judge (typically via telephone or video)
• Strategy for ensuring the employer is required to disclose internal emails and documents

This is the most technically procedural stage. Most people underestimate it. We don't.

Tribunals are won or lost on the Bundle. If your evidence is disorganised, the Judge cannot follow your story — however strong your case is.

• Bundle Creation — chronological indexing and pagination of all evidence (emails, payslips, contracts)
• Witness Statement Drafting — formal, numbered legal statement cross-referencing the Evidence Bundle

This is the most labour-intensive part of the process. We take document management off your plate entirely so you can focus on your testimony.

The Final Hearing is adversarial. Your employer will almost certainly have a barrister. You need someone in your corner.

• Attendance at the Final Hearing — remote or in-person
• Real-time quiet advice on cross-examination — spotting inconsistencies in the employer's testimony
• Detailed note-taking throughout for potential appeals or remedy discussions

As a McKenzie Friend, we do not have an automatic Right of Audience. You speak to the Judge, we are your engine room.
