Our position

A large employer has time, money and a legal department. The individual across the table has one career. Our job is to make sure that difference does not decide the outcome.

Method

How a matter runs

Employment disputes run against hard statutory deadlines. We work to them from the first day, so no right is lost while the other side is still deciding its position.

Step 1

Consult

You send the facts and documents. Within one business day we confirm the issues, the deadlines and what we need from you.

Step 2

Position

A written view of your entitlements, the strength of each claim, the forum and the settlement range we will press for.

Step 3

Press

We correspond, negotiate and, where it is needed, litigate, with you informed at every step until the matter closes.
