What Will It Cost?
Generally, you can’t get full government funding (what used to be called ‘Legal Aid’) to pay for your solicitor to help with your employment related claim - although you may be eligible for some limited free advice under the Community Legal Services Legal Help Scheme.
However, at Askews whenever possible we will pursue a claim for our clients on a ‘no win no fee basis’.
It’s also worth checking whether you (your spouse or member of your family living at the same address) have Legal Expenses Insurance included with a Motor or Household Insurance Policy, which you may be able to use to pay for employment related claims. If you have got insurance cover, then Askews can use this to deal with your claim at no cost to you. Remember, as the policy-holder YOU have the right choose your own solicitor. We can speak directly to your insurance company to sort this out for you.
Why Should I Choose Askews?
At Askews we have the experience and the expertise to advise both employers and employees - so you can be confident we know this area of the law inside out.
Askews has been awarded a Legal Services Commission Franchise in Employment and holds a Contract with the Legal Services Commission to provide advice to the community - testament to the high level of service provided by Askews’ employment law team.
We know that many people’s experience of dealing with solicitors is one of frustration, lack of communication and worry. However, at Askews, we are committed to delivering a personal, friendly service to all our clients and we will keep you regularly informed about what’s going on.
