Hearing day support

Employment Tribunal Advocate

A tribunal hearing is not just telling your story. It is evidence, documents, chronology, cross-examination, legal issues and focused submissions.

Why advocacy matters

Even strong claims can become muddled at hearing. A representative helps organise the case, keep the tribunal focused on the legal tests and challenge the respondent's evidence.

What hearing representation includes

Hearing advocacy can include preparation calls, review of the bundle, issue lists, questions for witnesses, submissions and representation on the day.

Best fit cases

This is most useful where the claim is contested, the employer is represented, evidence is disputed or there are discrimination, whistleblowing, dismissal or remedy issues.

Questions people ask

Can a non-solicitor represent me:
GOV.UK recognises that representatives can act for claimants in employment tribunal proceedings.
Do I still need to attend:
Usually yes. If you are the claimant, your evidence is normally central to the case.
