Cuts to legal aid in April 2013
included the ending of Legal Help advice and assistance on employment law.
At Dowse & Co. we are
committed to maintaining access to tribunals where workers have been denied
their rights.
We remain committed to your rights at work
Besides a free initial telephone consultation, we now offer the
following fixed fees* for
advice and assistance which we hope will be affordable for clients:
An unpaid wages (including holiday pay)
/unlawful deductions claim: to advise on
substantive merits and procedure, and prepare a claim form to be issued by the
client - £150 plus VAT.
An unfair dismissal or redundancy claim: to
advise on substantive merits and procedure, and prepare a claim form to be
issued by the client - £250 plus VAT.
A discrimination claim: to advise on substantive
merits and procedure, and prepare a claim form to be issued by the client - £425 plus VAT.
Multiple claims: where a claim includes two or
more of the above claims the fixed fee will be 100% of the highest fee and 50%
each of the lower fees. For example, a claim including discrimination and
unfair dismissal will have a fixed fee of £425 plus £125 = £550 plus VAT.
*NB These fixed fees will not
apply where documents to be considered exceed 100 pages, and in those
circumstances we provide an individual estimate of costs.
For any legal work beyond
preparing a claim form we will advise about the funding options
available in the circumstances, including offering “no win no fee” in
suitable cases.
The fixed fees apply from November 2013 until further notice.
