Why people choose Astute Law’s Solicitors

There are many reasons why these situations arise, ranging from severe discrimination to a simple clash of personalities or a misunderstanding that has gone too far.

Your first call should be to your employer. They have a duty to prevent bullying and harassment in the workplace and they should have a grievance procedure you can follow which may include meetings with your manager, mediation or internal investigations.

If you don’t feel able to do that, because you fear it will result in further problems, or you have followed the procedure but the matter has still not been resolved, then you may want consider legal action.

Only you can decide whether you want to stay or go.

The fact that we have successfully represented both sides of this challenge gives us an advantage. We have a unique insight into the arguments and tactics from both directions and we have successfully supported many people like you to get a resolution that is right for you.

We find that 90% of the time a resolution ultimately means obtaining a settlement.

However far you want to take it, Our 4 Stage Resolution Approach will help you get there.

Your FREE 15min Call

This straight-forward chat with an expert solicitor will help you will quickly discover the three most important insights you need before you do anything else.
  • whether it makes sense for you to pursue your case (or not)
  • what your next steps should be.
  • whether we are the right people to help you achieve the outcome you want.

This is an initial conversation. It’s not a detailed case assessment and we won’t have time to look at any documentation. It’s designed to quickly understand your story, the circumstances, the outcome you’re looking for and to assess whether you have a case.

Stage 1 - Your 7Q Resolution Session

This conversation is designed to get a strategic step-by-step roadmap of how to get what you want and whether the ‘juice is worth the squeeze’.

We will help you work out whether it makes sense to pursue the outcome you really want but also understand what it would take by helping you answer these 7 critical questions:

  • What do you really want the outcome to be?
  • What is the strength of your legal position?
  • What are your options and steps for resolving it?
  • How much will each step likely cost?
  • What are your chances of success?
  • Would the reward be worth the cost and effort?
  • Are we the right people to help you?

At the end of this conversation, you will be able to make a firm decision about what to do or not do.

If there’s a quick win resolution to be had, you may be able to resolve it without further cost.

If it’s more complicated, you will know the pathway to achieve the outcome you want, an estimate of how much each step will cost and what you might gain at each stage.

Stage 2 - Your Detailed Case Assessment

Whether you’re an employee raising a claim for bullying, harassment or discrimination or an employer defending your business against such challenges, the Detailed Case Assessment is a critical step for strategising the steps to your successful outcome.

This is a fixed price review of all the actions and pertinent documents relating to the case including an assess of whether your people have done the right things in the right way.

We will schedule a detailed walkthrough session to discuss the facts and options and agree the best course of action. We will…

  • help you be very clear about your legal position and the strength of your case
  • map out your best path to success – from the letter before action to the potential tribunal hearing – and the likely challenges at each step
  • explain the specific arguments you need to make to negotiate a settlement proposal in your favour or to achieve whatever your desired outcomes are given your situation.
  • Ensure you understand the next steps and costs if this were to proceed as far as an employment tribunal.

Whether the next step is negotiation, conciliation, a settlement agreement or even if it goes to a tribunal – our priority is to find the right solution for you as fast as possible. That way you can decide with absolute certainty how to proceed.

Stage 3 – Negotiating Your Solution

Our goal is always to find the fastest way to the best resolution.

Sometimes, laying out the case in a letter before action is enough to help people to accept someone else’s perspective and agree to move on.

Sometimes we have to do the negotiation dance – especially when emotions are running high on both sides. Our commitment to you means we go backwards and forwards as many times as it takes until the deal makes sense.

Sometimes we have to fight all the way to the tribunal.

Nearly 80% of disputes are settled out of court.

We will help you navigate this pathway in a way that allows everyone to part ways with as little fuss as possible and the best outcome for you.

We’ve got your back until the resolution is done.
