Fixed fee solicitor alternative

Why Choose ProHearings Over a Solicitors Firm

Some employment disputes need a regulated solicitor. Many tribunal and workplace matters need something narrower: fast casework, clear drafting, document review and practical representation at a fixed price.

Focused tribunal support

ProHearings is built around employment tribunal preparation, ET1 drafting, case reviews, settlement support, workplace meeting support and lay representation. That means the work is scoped around the stage you actually need help with, rather than defaulting to an open-ended legal retainer.

Lower overhead, clearer pricing

We are not a firm of solicitors and are not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. That means we do not carry the same solicitor-firm overheads and regulatory structure. The practical benefit is that we can offer cheaper fixed-fee support for suitable matters, while being clear about when a solicitor may be needed.

Email access, evenings and weekends

ProHearings is designed for people dealing with urgent employment problems around work, childcare and deadlines. We are available by email from 8am to 8pm, including weekends, and genuine casework enquiries are triaged quickly so key dates and documents are not missed.

When a solicitor is still the right choice

A solicitor may be the better route where the matter involves urgent injunctions, complex commercial litigation, criminal exposure, insolvency, reserved legal work or a high-value dispute requiring regulated legal advice. We would rather say that clearly than sell the wrong service.

Best fit for ProHearings

We are strongest where you need practical employment law awareness, clear drafting, a case theory, evidence organisation, ACAS or settlement preparation, meeting support, or tribunal representation without paying traditional solicitor rates.

Important service information

ProHearings is not a firm of solicitors and does not provide reserved legal services. It provides fixed-fee casework, document support and lay representation for suitable employment and workplace matters.
