Simpler cases in which there are modest amounts of paper work, a small number of witnesses and no complex preliminary issues to investigate or agree, the fee is likely to be at the lower end of the range.

This range also assumes that the case proceeds to final hearing, more complex cases that settle prior to a hearing are also likely to be at the mid or lower end of the range and simpler cases may fall below the range depending on how much work has been completed for the case.

Our charges currently do not include VAT; however, this may change during the course of the year. We will inform you as soon as the company becomes registered for VAT purposes.

Disbursements

The fees quoted above are our estimated professional costs and do not include disbursements that we may incur in the course of our engagement.

We are transparent with our costs at all times.

Our vision is to build a client-focused law firm that’s committed to becoming the leading regional law firm in Employment and Immigration Law.

Employee Information

VAT

We are not registered for VAT, so our charges currently do not include VAT; however, this may change during the course of the year. We will inform you as soon as the company becomes registered for VAT purposes.

Additional Costs

You may need to pay some additional costs, which are called disbursements. This includes Counsel (Barrister) Fees to prepare for and to represent you at an Employment Tribunal.

Counsel Fees can vary between £800 and £3,000 per day plus 20% VAT. The amount you pay will depend on the expertise of the Barrister and how long the hearing will last. Counsel fees will cost more if a more experienced barrister is needed for a more complicated case and hearings always last longer on more complicated cases.

Paying for your legal fees

In some cases, we will be prepared to act for you under a Damages-Based Agreement, which means that we would recover our legal fee from the damages (compensation) that you recover if you win your case.

Under a Damages-Based Agreement, we will deduct a proportion (limited to 35%) of your damages to reward us for the risk we assume in pursuing your claim under this type of agreement. This is because if your claim is not successful and you do not receive any compensation, and you have not agreed with us otherwise nor broken the terms of the Damages-Based Agreement, you will not have to pay our legal fees.

If you do break the terms of a Damages-Based Agreement, or if we decide to terminate the agreement, you will be required to pay our costs.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss funding your case on the basis of a Damages-Based Agreement.

Disbursements

Disbursements are costs payable to third parties, such as court fees or fees payable on the instruction of a barrister for advice or representation. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process. In employment matters, there are no court fees to pay. Additionally, as Ian Winrow is a Solicitor Advocate, we often conduct our own representations, saving costs.

You will be fully advised on any disbursements which may be payable at the onset of your case and throughout.

Work included and key stages

The precise work and stages involved in bringing an unfair or wrongful dismissal claim vary according to the circumstances. However, we have set out the key stages involved in a typical claim:

Taking your initial instructions, reviewing the papers and advising you on merits and likely compensation.

Entering into pre-claim conciliation where this is mandatory to explore whether a settlement can be reached.

Preparing your claim.

Reviewing and advising on response from the other party.

Exploring settlement and negotiating settlement throughout the process.

Preparing a schedule of loss.

Exchanging documents with the other party and agreeing a bundle of documents.

Taking witness statements, drafting statements and agreeing their content with witnesses.

Preparing bundle of documents.

Reviewing and advising on the other party’s witness statements.

Agreeing a list of issues, a chronology and/or cast list.

Preparation and attendance at Final Hearing, including representation or instructions to Counsel.

Services excluded within this estimate price

Our service will not include any of the following:

Advice or assistance in relation to any appeal.

Approximate/ average timescales

The time that it takes from your initial instructions to the final resolution of your matter depends largely on the stage at which your case is resolved. If a settlement is reached during pre-claim conciliation, your case is likely to take up to 6 weeks. This is because once we have put the referral in to ACAS, the respondent (your employer) will have one month to respond. If your claim proceeds to a Final Hearing, your case is likely to take 6 – 9 months depending on the Court’s timetable. This is just an estimate and we will of course be able to give you a more accurate timescale once we have more information and as your case progresses.

Factors that could increase costs

In some circumstances we may increase our fees to account for additional time, work or skill required to meet your instructions. Examples include:

If it is necessary to make applications to amend claims or provide further information about an existing claim.

If we make a costs application.

If there are complex preliminary issues.

The number of witnesses and documents.

If there are allegations of discrimination which are linked to the dismissal.
