Letting an advocacy service manage the unpleasantness of tribunals - By: Tom Jui

Tribunal is for most employers a step too far and something to be avoided at any cost. Providing a safe and secure workplace for employees is the goal of most employers who want to create a hazard free and work friendly environment for their workforce. Although most employers work extremely hard to provide these trouble free work environments, sometimes problems happen and when they do, good tribunal representation is needed.

Having a general knowledge of employment law is part and parcel of being an employer and generally a moderate amount of knowledge will suffice for the day to day running of businesses. However there will be times when employers will be taken to task at tribunal and will risk having to pay out large sums in compensation claims should the claimant win. The most common cases put before tribunal are for unfair dismissal, race discrimination, unauthorised deductions, sex discrimination, disability discrimination and breach of contract. It is here where an employer may need to acquire specialist knowledge and advice quickly to judge on the legitimacy of these claims and the claimant’s chances of winning.

Finding good tribunal representation is a positive step for employers towards defending claims against them. Specialist advocates are able to provide trained professionals who work solely within employment litigation so have a range of experience in this particular field. With this experience come increased chances of winning against claimants plus tribunal handling services where advocates manage the claims from beginning to end. This allows companies to carry on relatively normally while the tribunal is in progress.

At NorthgateArinso our experience in the field of tribunal representation means that our clients have a stronger likelihood of winning at an employment tribunal. We also adhere to the no-win-no-fee culture which again helps to remove stress from employers through what can be an unpleasant time.
