At Bridgefield Legal, we recognise that workplace disputes can be stressful, both emotionally and financially. We are committed to providing accessible and affordable employment law support, with flexible funding arrangements tailored to the circumstances of each case.

Depending on the nature, complexity and merits of your matter, we may offer one of the following funding options:

For many employment law matters, we offer fixed-fee services that provide certainty and transparency from the outset. Fixed fees may be available for:

• Grievances and workplace complaints;

• Internal appeals;

• Disciplinary and capability proceedings;

• Settlement agreement reviews;

• Employment law advice and guidance;

• Employment Tribunal claim preparation; and

• Other specific pieces of work agreed in advance.

For selected Employment Tribunal matters, we may consider acting under a No Win, No Fee arrangement, subject to a detailed assessment of the merits and prospects of the case.

Eligibility for a No Win, No Fee arrangement is assessed on a case-by-case basis and cannot be guaranteed.

Where a matter is particularly complex or requires ongoing support, we can offer a tailored fee arrangement designed to reflect the nature and requirements of the case.

Any fee arrangement will be discussed and agreed before work commences.

We provide support across a wide range of employment law matters, including:
