These costs apply where your claim is in relation to an unpaid invoice which is not disputed and enforcement action is not needed.

Our fee includes:
Matters usually take 4-26 weeks from receipt of instructions from you to receipt of payment from the other side, depending on whether or not it is necessary to issue a claim. This is on the basis that the other side pays promptly on receipt of Judgement in default. If enforcement action is needed, the matter will take longer to resolve.
Our pricing for representing you in bringing and defending claims before the Employment Tribunal.
Simple case: £4,000-£10,000 (excluding VAT charged at 20%)
Medium complexity case: £10,000-£20,000 (excluding VAT charged at 20%)
High complexity case: £25,000-£50,000 (excluding VAT charged at 20%)
The above is not a cap on fees and cases can exceed these costs due to the complexity of the case. Our hourly rate is between £250 to £350 + VAT, depending upon the experience of the lawyer dealing with your matter.
Factors that could make a case more complex:
The more of these factors apply to your case, the higher the level of complexity. In more complex cases additional time will require to be spent on your matter in turn increasing the likely cost.
Disbursements
Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such expert fees (e.g. medical expert to ascertain disability). We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.
Counsel’s fees estimated between £1,000 – £2,500 per day (depending on experience of the advocate) for attending a Tribunal Hearing. There is likely to be a ‘brief fee’ in addition to the above attendance fees, the level of which would depend upon the complexity of your matter and the numbers of days listed. However this could be in the range of £500 + VAT for a simple case to £5,000 + VAT for a high complexity case. Generally we would allow 1-3 days for a low complexity case, 4-7 days for a medium complexity case and 8-10 days for a High complexity case.
Key stages
The fees set out above cover all of the work in relation to the following key stages of a claim:
The stages set out above are an indication and if some of stages above are not required, the fee may be reduced. You may wish to handle the claim yourself and only have our advice in relation to some of the stages. This can also be arranged on your individual needs and specific quote can be provided upon your instructions.
How long will my matter take?
The time that it takes from taking 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 6-8 weeks. If your claim proceeds to a Final Hearing, your case is likely to take 6-12 months. This is just an estimate and we will of course be able to give you a more accurate timescale once we have more information as to the complexity of your case and as the matter progresses. As you will appreciate the Employment Tribunals are also very busy right now and so your case could take longer.
