Unfair Dismissal and Discrimination Claims: Affordable Options For All
As experienced UK employment solicitors, we understand the importance of protecting the rights of employees who have suffered unfair dismissal or discrimination in the workplace. In pursuit of justice, we can offer legal expertise and representation on a no win, no fee basis or with the benefit of an insurance policy.
Employees who have faced unfair dismissal or discrimination often find themselves facing an uphill battle when seeking justice against their employer or former employer. We recognise that issuing a claim against your employer or former employer is a daunting process and that having been dismissed, funding such a claim may be difficult. However, there are several options available to you including legal expense insurance, no win no fee and price certainty. We have a team of experienced Tribunal litigators and will pursue claims for employees wherever you are based.
We have a proven track record when it comes to both obtaining successful results for our clients and providing exceptional customer service. Here at Wolferstans we ensure all our clients are kept up to date, your file will be proactively managed, we will communicate in plain English and adopt an approach that is tailored to your specific needs. Different approaches are required for different situations and different opponents; we can pursue a persuasive but considerate negotiation or a robust and targeted strategy, always agreed with you in advance and following an extensive review of your case and any supporting documents.
No Win, No Fee Representation
"No win, no fee" arrangements have proven to be a lifeline for many individuals seeking legal assistance but hesitant due to financial concerns. By running cases on this basis, we are effectively removing the financial barriers that might otherwise prevent deserving employees from seeking justice. If your claim is unsuccessful, you are not obligated to pay legal fees, which offers peace of mind during an already difficult time. If you believe you have a strong claim, please contact Mara Cunha on 01752 292221 who will conduct a free initial telephone assessment. If there are sufficient prospects, we will then undertake a full case review, again without charge. If the case stacks up, we will advise you accordingly and you can then decide whether to pursue the claim through Wolferstans but with no obligation to do so.
Insurance-backed Claims
Offering representation with the benefit of an insurance policy backing you can be equally advantageous for employees with valid claims. An insurance-backed approach provides an added layer of protection, ensuring that your legal costs are covered, whether you win or lose the case. If you believe you have the benefit of legal expense insurance, we can review your policy and case for free and then advise you on the best way forward. We can help you to arrange for the cover to be in place and then pursue your former employer with a view to obtaining compensation. Sometimes our clients were not aware they had the benefit of such insurance, if you have been unfairly dismissed or subjected to discrimination, check your home and car insurance or even your bank account.
Here at Wolferstans, we empathise with employees who through no fault of their own have lost their employment. We understand the implications of such an event on you, your family, your home as well as your self-esteem, well-being and mental health. Whenever it is possible, we will fight for you to obtain justice, financial compensation and a reference or to clear your name.
We have a proven track record of successfully obtaining awards and settlements for clients, whether they have been unfairly dismissed, discriminated against, or were forced to resign because of their employer’s conduct. Just last week, we obtained in excess of £20,000 for an unfairly dismissed employee, and the settlement was reached in less than three weeks with our client incurring minimal legal fees.
