Home About Us Services Free Advice Contact

Whether you feel you are being ill treated by your company, or you are an employer who has staff issues, Salmons Solicitors can assist.

We offer a high quality service at an affordable price which is pitched directly at private individuals or employers with small businesses.

For issues such as unfair dismissal, redundancy, discrimination, and disciplinary/grievance proceedings we will provide professional advice. We will also help with representation either at Disciplinary Hearings and Employment Tribunals.

Employment problems can be highly stressful, and no one likes to have to spend money on legal fees at a time of crisis, but consider what value you would place on your regular income.

Fee Structure applying from 1st April 2011

A. Employers

We can offer you a competitve  hourly rate of £150 per hour plus vat with fee capping, work to budget and monthly payment plans. Drawing up contracts of employment for your staff can cost as little as £300 to £450 plus vat.

In these times of rising insurance premiums, we  can also advise on health and safety obligations in the workplace to guard against injury compensation claims. Our fees for this work are charged at £201 per hour plus vat.

B. Employees

• Initial consultation at £90 per hour plus vat (we ask you to complete a questionnaire form prior to the interview and the fees are payable at the end of the consultation. You will need to bring your contract of employment if you have it available and any other documents which may be of help. Maximum duration is 3 hours with no set minimum.)
• A reduced hourly rate of £135 per hour plus vat thereafter  with fee capping, work to budget and monthly payment plans.
• Compromise Agreements - your employer normally agrees to reimburse you with some or all of your legal costs for these but only if the agreement is completed - we work at £135 per hour plus vat and consultations can last for 90 minutes to two hours. If for any reason your employer fails to pay ( it can happen!) then you would have to pay the full cost.

Please note we do not offer legal aid for employment advice.
