What the review covers
The review considers the facts, potential legal claims, time limits, evidence, value, risks and practical next steps. It is designed to help you decide whether to file, settle, prepare further evidence or seek representation.
When to get one
Get a review as early as possible, especially if dismissal, resignation, discrimination, grievance, disciplinary action or unpaid wages happened recently. Time limits can move quickly and Acas early conciliation changes the calculation.
What you receive
You receive a written assessment in plain English with strengths, weaknesses, deadlines and recommended service options. If the case is weak, the review should say so clearly.
What a good case review should say
A useful review should not simply encourage you to proceed. It should identify the strongest claims, weak points, limitation risks, evidence gaps, settlement value, next practical step and whether spending more money is proportionate.
Documents to send
Send the dismissal letter, grievance, appeal, contract, payslips, Acas certificate, ET1 draft if any, key emails, messages, medical evidence and a one-page timeline. Avoid sending hundreds of screenshots without context.
When the answer may be no
Some claims are out of time, under-evidenced, too low value or legally mismatched. A proper review should be willing to say that the better route is settlement, grievance, Acas, a limited wages claim or no claim.
