Tribunal Insurance

Unexpected legal disputes have always been costly and time-consuming for businesses. But nowadays, due to the constant changes in employment legislation and the resultant increases in claims, it is now more important than ever for employers to have access to affordable and reliable legal advice and representation.

All our retained clients already benefit from high quality advice and support in dealing correctly and legally with all sorts of HR/ employment law issues. But what happens if an employee decides to bring an essentially unfounded claim against you for unfair dismissal or discrimination?

It’s a fact of life that this can happen to even the best prepared employers, and the legal fees associated with defending such allegations can be very expensive indeed. Also, even if you win the case, it’s highly rare for Employment Tribunals to award costs against the employee.

The Personnel Dept offers excellent value Legal Expenses Insurance for more discerning clients that will not only pay the cost of the professional fees associated with defending them against the allegations, but also cover the potential awards granted by the Tribunal to the claimant if you lose the case. However, if our advice is strictly followed in the first place, we have every confidence that you won’t lose the case.
