There has been a 90% increase in employment tribunal cases since the removal of fees in July 2017, with the average cost to defend a claim being £9,000.
Employment tribunals can be time consuming, stressful and costly. It is therefore imperative for employers to be well prepared.
Delegates attending this event will have the opportunity to witness a full mock employment tribunal hearing, including witness cross examination, a Judge’s summing up and decision. They will gain a unique insight into Acas conciliation and how to get the most out of it. We will also look at the common mistakes that can lose cases, getting the best from your legal representative and some of the strategies that can help bring issues to a successful conclusion.
Ranked by the Legal 500 Directory as a top-tier firm in the South West, 3PB Barristers will provide delegates with their top tips and expert insight into the tribunal process.
Some of the common questions we’ll be covering include:
- I don’t know what to expect – how do Tribunals work?
- What if I'm asked a question I can’t answer?
- How does Early Conciliation work?
- What sort of evidence do we need ahead of the hearing?
- What if the Judge doesn’t like the way we’ve done things?
- How many witnesses do we need to bring and how do we help them to prepare?
All delegates will receive an electronic certificate of attendance for their participation in the training.
