If you believe that you have been unfairly dismissed, then you need to get advice from an experienced employment law solicitor as soon as you possibly can. Make this move before you think about taking a claim to a Tribunal.
Being dismissed from your job is stressful enough - being dismissed unfairly is even worse. Pursuing an unfair dismissal claim in these circumstances can really take a toll on your personal resources, so it's essential that you have an expert unfair dismissal solicitor on your side from the very beginning.
The first thing you need a solicitor for is specialist knowledge. Employment law is a complex, ever-changing area. Although the circumstances of your case will be unique to you, an unfair dismissal solicitor will be able to look at your case in the light of their wider experience. They'll be able to talk to you about similar sorts of cases that they've handled, and how those cases fared at the Employment Tribunal.
Following on from this, you need a solicitor to examine the strengths and weaknesses of your individual case. To make a successful unfair dismissal claim, you will need to prove that your employer breached your employment rights. The Tribunal will need to be convinced that you were dismissed for an inherently unfair reason, or that your employer used unfair procedures in order to get rid of you. Your case therefore needs to be as strong as possible. Your solicitor will be able to help you with this.
An unfair dismissal solicitor is also there to represent you and to deal with third parties. Remember, your former employer will be working just as hard to prove that they didn't act unfairly. This inevitably leads to a degree of conflict, so you need a professional on your side to handle this aspect of the claim.
Finally, you need solicitors to help you weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of pursuing a claim at all. Compensation awards can vary widely in size and type, depending on the merits of each claim. The Tribunal can even order reinstatement [i.e. returning you to your job] instead of a monetary award. Your solicitors will be able to give you an idea of the sort of outcome you might expect. You'll then be able to make an informed decision about whether or not it's worth your time, effort and expense in bringing a claim.
Although a claim for unfair dismissal should never be undertaken lightly, with the help of a specialist unfair dismissal solicitor, you can receive recognition and compensation for the breach of your employment rights.
