We can help with every step of defending an unfair dismissal claim. We are here to take away the worry, to defend your interests and get these claims sorted.
Received an unfair dismissal claim?
We can help with every step of defending an unfair dismissal claim. We understand how stressful it can be to receive an unfair dismissal claim and how time consuming it can then be to defend that claim.
We can help with each step of defending an unfair dismissal claim including firstly checking whether the unfair dismissal laws actually apply, providing advice about the response you will need to lodge, talking you through the unfair dismissal process, preparing an outline for you to use at a conciliation conference or representing your business at that conference if you prefer to have someone there to speak for you.
We’ll identify your potential exposure
If we think that you have potential exposure because of the way that the employee was dismissed, we will tell you that up front.
We’ll talk you through the risks and potential costs so that you can weigh up the best way to proceed.
There are some representatives out there who will let you run up a bill that is out of proportion to your potential costs and damages. That doesn’t happen on our watch.
Representation at unfair dismissal claim hearings
Although many cases do not proceed beyond a conciliation conference, some cases do continue all the way through to a hearing.
If this happens, we can represent you throughout that process, prepare all necessary documents such as statements and submissions and appear for you at the hearing to argue your case.
In some cases it will be best to engage a barrister to argue the case for you. If that is the case we can engage that barrister for you and manage that process.
Helping you get on with business
Unfair dismissal claims often stem from considerable issues with the employee which led to their dismissal.
The last thing you need after all of that is to then spend even more time and attention away from focussing on your business.
We keep all of that in mind and ensure that the process of defending a claim is made as simple as possible for our clients.
We are here to take away the worry and to ensure that our clients know that we have their backs. Contact us to find out how we can assist.
We help employers solve and prevent people issues. We are problem solvers.
