FAQ: Employment Support & Self‑Representation
What issues can you help me with?
I help with unfair dismissal, redundancy, discrimination, unpaid wages, whistleblowing, settlement agreements and tribunal procedure. If your problem is about work and the employment tribunal, I can usually support you.
Are you a solicitor?
I am not a solicitor and do not perform reserved legal activities. Instead, I provide specialist employment law support and professional lay representation to help you navigate your case with clarity and reassurance.
How does self-representation support work?
I guide your strategy, document drafting, and preparation while you manage official filings and speak at hearings. If you require further assistance, you can book me as a dedicated lay representative to speak on your behalf.
What are your limitations?
I offer guidance but do not file claims, act as a solicitor, or guarantee results. You remain in full control of your case while I provide background support and document assistance throughout the tribunal process.
How do your fees work?
We provide transparent fixed-fee bundles and hourly rates. All costs are agreed in writing before any work begins, so you never face hidden charges. This ensures complete financial clarity and peace of mind throughout your case.
What if I have an urgent deadline?
Contact me immediately. I will confirm if I can assist before your deadline. Please note I cannot extend tribunal time limits; you remain responsible for ensuring all filings are submitted on time to protect your rights.
