Employment Law Advice Meetings – Fixed Fee Scheme
If you are having issues with your employer, we can provide you with employment law advice about your legal position and your options going forward.
We often see clients who are facing disciplinary charges, feel they are being discriminated against or wishing to raise a grievance. We also see people who may be facing redundancy situations or a transfer of their employment. Our employment law experts based in Southampton and Winchester can help you understand your rights and navigate a way forward.
How we can help
We offer new clients an initial fixed fee meeting to discuss their situation in more detail with one of our employment law solicitors. Prior to the meeting you will be asked to provide a brief summary of the situation.
At the meeting, you will be asked to give the background and further detail as needed. The solicitor can then advise on the legal issues, practical considerations and options going forward. In the meeting, any future work will be agreed with you, or you can go away and consider your options. In some cases, you might not need anything more than the fixed fee meeting.
How much will a fixed fee meeting cost?
The cost of the meeting will be charged at a fixed fee rate of £165 plus VAT (£198) for up to 1 hour’s advice by a solicitor in the team.
Certain matters may be too complex or involved for the fixed fee scheme. If the matter is not suitable for the fixed fee scheme, we will discuss your options and provide you with details of the likely costs.
Where and when will the meeting be held?
Whilst based in the South of England, Paris Smith acts for businesses and families throughout the UK. Technology has enabled us to provide a high level of service to our clients whether the are local to our offices or not. Our advice can be given in many ways:
- Over the telephone
- Via video conferencing
- In face to face meetings
In our early conversations with you, we will talk through how you would like to be contacted and the best ways for us to meet with you.
We have a team of 9 specialist employment law solicitors and therefore our availability is good. We can generally arrange a meeting for the next working day, but have the flexibility to suit your needs.
