I am a qualified lawyer with over 12 years of experience in the UK and EU, covering corporate, employment, family law, financial regulation, and EU law. I graduated with honours from the University of London with an LLB (Hons) degree and completed the Legal Practice Course. I have worked on high-value matters, including claims exceeding £500,000, advised companies on FCA and PRA licensing, and developed legal strategies for businesses. I am fluent in English, Russian, and Lithuanian, which enables me to effectively assist international clients. I also served for several years as the Chair of the Look Around Charity in the UK.
Employment Tribunal Support and Legal Representation in the UK
The Employment Tribunal in the UK is an independent judicial body that resolves disputes between employees and employers. The most common cases involve unfair dismissal, workplace discrimination, unpaid wages, and breaches of employment contracts. I provide professional legal support to help clients navigate the process efficiently and reach a fair outcome.
1. Common Types of Employment Disputes
- Unfair dismissal — challenging unjustified termination of employment.
- Discrimination — claims based on gender, race, age, religion, disability, etc.
- Breach of contract — failure to comply with terms of the employment agreement.
- Unlawful deductions — reclaiming wages or benefits that were wrongfully withheld.
I approach each case strategically and with legal precision, fully protecting your rights and interests.
2. How to File a Claim in the Employment Tribunal
- Notify Acas — before filing a claim, you must go through the Acas Early Conciliation process.
- Submit the claim — complete the ET1 form online via the official UK government website.
- Gather evidence — contracts, emails, payslips, witness statements, and other documentation.
- Attend the hearing — both parties will present their cases, and the tribunal will issue a decision.
I guide clients through every stage — from pre-claim negotiations to tribunal hearings and appeals if needed.
3. Deadlines and Appeals
- Most claims must be submitted within 3 months of the incident or dismissal.
- If the outcome is unsatisfactory, you may appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal.
Acting quickly and correctly is crucial. I ensure all documents are submitted on time and in proper form.
4. Alternative Dispute Resolution
- Negotiation with the employer — often helps resolve the issue without going to court.
- Acas conciliation — a free service to help avoid formal legal proceedings.
- Mediation — I assist clients in private negotiations and non-judicial resolution.
Resolving the conflict early saves time, legal fees, and helps maintain professional relationships.
