One of the hardest things for anyone contemplating employment litigation is the prospect of paying lots of money to lawyers. The lack of legal aid in the Employment Tribunal can often restrict access to proper redress and so a number of years ago our Team took steps to try and address these issues.
Barristers here will represent claimants with limited means for a fixed rate of £350 plus VAT per day and will also conduct a free conference with the client. Having run this scheme for a number of years we have found that it opens up the prospect of litigation for potential clients and has also given us the the opportunity of increasing the volume of work here whilst exposing our more junior practitioners to the Tribunal system.
As a Clerk it is vitally important, as it is for any business, to identify these gaps in the market and then try to come up with innovative ways to address the problem. As marketing exercises go this was one of the most successful that we have attempted - if anyone has any other ideas we would be very interested indeed.
