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.
CLOSE 
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 £150 plus VAT (£180) for up to 1 hour’s advice by a solicitor in the team. This meeting is priced on the basis that you will not require the solicitor to read through any documents in advance of your meeting.
If you would like the solicitor to read through relevant documentation in advance of your appointment, we charge a slightly higher fixed fee of £195 plus VAT. This includes up to 30 minutes of the solicitor’s time in advance of the appointment reviewing the paperwork. It also includes up to a 1-hour meeting with you to talk through the situation. Please note, if more than 30 minutes of time is required based on the volume of the documents, or complexity of them, the solicitor will contact you to provide a cost estimate for any additional time required in advance of your meeting.
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?
