Employment law is now one of the fastest growing sectors within the legal profession. Last year there were more than 130,000 claims to the Employment Tribunal. Recent introductions such as disability discrimination, paternity leave, flexible working and age discrimination have added to that growth.

If you are an employer and you have ever received a claim for Unfair Dismissal from the Employment Tribunal then you will know that the management time, financial cost and pure stress can be enormous. The compensation due to an employee dismissed for reasons connected with health and safety or public interest disclosure (‘whistleblowing’) now has no limit. The sky is literally the limit.
