Would you like to cover all your employment law needs at a fixed price?

If you are worried about employment law claims or simply need employment law advice, the CWJ employment team can help you.

Through our Employment Retainer Scheme, we can provide you with all your employment law needs,  including updating your employment documentation, providing a legal helpline and legal expenses insurance for a fixed monthly fee (from as little as £100 plus VAT).

In 2010 the Tribunal Service reported an increase from the previous year of 56% in the number of employment claims submitted against employers, with the highest award of compensation being £729,347, for a disability discrimination case.

Given the economic uncertainty and the proposed deep cuts in the public sector, which will in turn have a knock on effect on the private sector, it is very likely that with limited prospects or re-employment for redundant employees, there will be a further increase in the number of tribunal claims against employers in 2011-2012, particularly with the removal of the default retirement age.

You may have already been contacted by other providers. However, there are usually some key differences between our retainer scheme and other providers:

  1. All of our lawyers are qualified solicitors specialising only in employment law
  2. We are able to meet with you if necessary
  3. We do not operate a call centre so you are able to build relationships with our lawyers ensuring continuity throughout all of the cases we handle for you. 
  4. Where you take up the insurance option, we can advise completely independently of the insurers.
  5. Our package will include TUPE related advice.
  6. Our employment team have been ranked in the Chambers Directory (the UK's leading guide to the legal profession) as one of the best employment teams in the South East, giving you the reassurance you need that you are getting the best advice.
  7. We offer a full legal service to businesses so that if you need help in other areas (e.g. a business acquisition), the advice is seamless
  8. Unlike some providers who operate under 5 year fixed term contracts, our contract is for 12 months only with a break clause should either party wish to end the agreement.
