Gorvins Approach to Employment Tribunal Claims

Our expertise will give you the best prospect of achieving your desired result and we are ready and able to fight with every rule and means possible to defend a case, or engage in negotiations to resolve the case on as favourable terms as possible, if that is your preferred approach.

We can be as involved in a Tribunal defence as you/commercial sense dictate, either taking all the weight from your shoulders in fronting the case, or simply assisting you behind the scenes in situations where you are confident enough to lead and present the case on your own.

Although the employment tribunal system is designed to be less formal than some other courts, it still carries full legal force and should therefore not be taken lightly. Once a claimant’s ET1 form is received, a business is placed into the position of respondent and must prepare documentation and witnesses for the hearing. A counter-claim for breach of contract may also be considered.
