Employment Law:

Our fees for bringing and defending claims for unfair or wrongful dismissal in the Employment Tribunal in England and Wales can vary from anywhere between £3000 to £20000 or more depending upon the complexity of the claim. The starting point of £2000 will typically be for a claim that involves one or two witnesses on each side, has only one or two simple issues, will take between 1 to 2 days to be heard in the Employment Tribunal, and where there is not a vast amount of evidence. Anything more complicated is likely to cost more. Our fees will also depend upon the point at which we are instructed to act.

As an example, a simple case could £3000-£5000 (excluding VAT and disbursements)

Medium complexity case: £6000-£15000 (excluding VAT and disbursements)

High complexity case: £15000-£20000 or more (excluding VAT and disbursements)

Disbursements are not included in the fees quoted. Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as court fees or a barrister’s fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.

Our firm has a team of Solicitors who can represent you at any hearing in the Employment Tribunal. However, should you choose to instruct a Barrister instead then the barristers fees will be in addition to our fees. A barrister’s fees for attending a hearing in the Employment Tribunal are estimated to be between £1500 to £3000 per day (depending on the experience of the advocate and the type of hearing).

The fees set out above cover all of the work in relation to the following key stages of a claim:

  1. Taking your initial instructions, reviewing the papers and advising you on merits and likely compensation (this is likely to be revisited throughout the matter and subject to change)
  2. Entering into pre-claim conciliation where this is mandatory to explore whether a settlement can be reached;
  3. Preparing a claim or response
  4. Reviewing and advising on a claim or response from other party
  5. Exploring settlement and negotiating settlement throughout the process
  6. Preparing or considering a schedule of loss

  13. Preparation and attendance at the Final Hearing, including instructions to Counsel

The stages set out above are an indication and if some of stages above are not required, the fee will be reduced. You may wish to handle the claim yourself and only have our advice in relation to some of the stages, or maybe even instruct us midway through the proceedings or at a later stage. This can also be arranged based on your individual needs and our fees are likely to be reduced.

Our fees are calculated by reference to our hourly rates and the time spent, which vary according to the level of seniority of the person dealing with your case. However, we can also consider offering a fixed fee for various stages of the case. The benefit of a fixed fee is that you have certainty about how much you will pay for each stage. Our fee arrangements can be discussed at your first meeting with us.

The time that it takes from taking your initial instructions to the final resolution of your matter depends largely on the stage at which your case is resolved. If a settlement is reached during pre-claim conciliation, your case is likely to take 3 and 6 months. If your claim proceeds to a Final Hearing, your case is likely to take between 12 and 18 months (although if your claim is complicated it may take longer). This is just an estimate and we will of course give you a more accurate timescale once we have more information and we will continually review this as the matter progresses

Probate:

We anticipate the cost of applying for the grant of probate, gathering and dividing the assets to be between £750 and £2000.

The exact cost will depend on the nature of the case and the work that is required. If there is only one beneficiary and no property, costs will be at the lower end of the range. If there are multiple beneficiaries, numerous properties and multiple bank accounts, costs will be at the higher end.

  1. There is a valid will.
  2. There is no more than one property.
  3. There is no more than 1 bank or building society accounts.
  4. There are no other intangible assets.
  5. There are 1-2 beneficiaries.
  6. There are no disputes between beneficiaries on division of assets. If disputes arise this is likely to lead to an increase in costs.
  7. There is no inheritance tax payable and the executors do not need to submit a full account to HMRC.
  8. There are no claims made against the estate.

Disbursements are not included in the fees quoted. court fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process. Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as

  1. Probate application fee (Charged by HMCTS as at the time of the application)
  2. £10 Swearing of the oath
  3. Bankruptcy-only Land Charges Department searches (£2 per beneficiary)
  4. Publishing in The London Gazette – Protects against unexpected claims from unknown creditors
  5. £50 for posting in a Local Newspaper – This also helps to protect against unexpected claims (estimated and depends on locality)

  1. If there is no will or the estate consists of any share holdings (stocks and bonds) there is likely to be additional costs that could range significantly depending on the estate and how it is to be dealt with. We can give you a more accurate quote once we have more information.
  2. If any additional copies of the grant are required, they will cost 50 pence each (1 per asset usually).
  3. Dealing with the sale or transfer of any property in the estate is not included.

On average, estates that fall within this range are dealt with within 4 and 8 months. Typically, obtaining the grant of probate takes 8 to 10 weeks. Collecting assets then follows, which can take between 4 to 8 weeks. We can distribute the assets after this and it normally takes 6-14 weeks.
