The First Meeting with an Employment Lawyer
- Do they use plain and simple language, or do they confuse you with legal jargon? You need to feel at ease with your employment lawyer, and it is important that they make employer law issues easy for you to understand.
- Do They Seem Keen To Discuss the Possibility of An Early Settlement? An early settlement with your employee could save you a lot of stress and money. Employment lawyers who have your best interests in mind will be keen to discuss the possibility of an early settlement.
- If Your Case Goes To An Employment Tribunal Hearing, Who Will Represent You? It the claim is small, a barrister may not be needed. And if you use a small firm employment law firm, they may decide to represent you themselves. If the claim is more complex, you will want to ask which barrister they will be using. For a complex claim, you will want to ensure that they use one of the best and most cost effective barristers. You stand more chance of winning your case if your barrister is highly experienced.
