For employees

 

Our costs at each stage are £3,000 plus VAT. There may be additional costs.

Employment law is complicated, and few people have a clear idea of all their rights at work, which is why it is so important to get legal advice as soon as you face a problem.

If you feel you have been treated unfairly and you have not found a solution with your employer, you may want to take your complaint to an employment tribunal.

ARAG Law is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and has a team of experts specialising in employment law.

We guide you through the process, from assessing the strength and risk of a claim against your business to ensuring that if the matter progresses to a hearing, you are robustly defended at an employment tribunal.

How it works in practice

Unlike some competitors who charge by the hour, we offer a range of transparent fixed fee employment products which are broken down into three stages to mirror the litigation process. This way you know how much each stage of the process will cost, helping you budget and weigh up the best way forward. Each stage of the process will usually take 1-3 months.

Here is what we offer at each stage:

 
 
 
 

Developed with your employment rights in mind

We appreciate that employment disputes can cause stress and anxiety, with worries about the future, family and finance being in the front of your mind. We offer practical advice to reach the best outcome for you as quickly as possible.

We will provide an initial free 20-minute telephone consultation with you to help you gain a better understanding of how we can assist you and discuss the best route forward both in terms of the product and the litigation process.

For cases involving the following circumstances:

  • Discrimination

  • Whistleblowing

  • Equal pay

  • Breach of the Part Time Workers Regulations

  • Breach of the TUPE Regulations

  • Equal pay

  • Breach of the Working Time Regulations

  • Pregnancy and Maternity Rights

We can also offer a “price promise” (a bespoke fixed fee) if the case is unsuitable for one of the packages we offer. In these circumstances, we will be able to tell you the fee up front so that you have peace of mind right from the start.

How this works in practice

We won’t charge you for services you don’t need. If you reach a solution after stage 1 for example, you only pay £3,000 plus VAT. If you go through to stage 3 and proceed to the listed hearing, the maximum we will charge you is £9,000 plus VAT. (Please note that this does not include any disbursements or barrister fees).
