Demystifying Employment Tribunals

This April and May Trowers & Hamlins will be running live mock Employment Tribunal events free of charge across all UK office locations.  

We know that the risk of Employment Tribunal litigation can be a concern for employers and managers alike. Understanding the Tribunal process will help HR professionals and employers make more confident decisions in the workplace and feel better equipped to defend Tribunal claims in the future.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be on the other side of a Tribunal claim? Has it been a while since you've been to Tribunal? The session is aimed at managers and HR professionals who have not experienced Tribunal first-hand or as a refresher for those who have. It will be interactive with various participants, including the judge, claimant and the respondents' witnesses looking at real evidence and paperwork. As many tribunals are now fully hybrid with claimants and respondents appearing virtually, we will also be incorporating virtual witnesses. The session will give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the documents required to defend a case, the key legal tests that must be met and how decisions are reached.

You will get full insight into the financial implications of a claim to help your commercial decision making and the steps that you can take to avoid litigation. At the end of the session, there will be time to share experiences and to put questions to the panel of experts. There will also be the opportunity to network with fellow attendees before, during and after the event and breakfast and refreshments will be served.

As part of the event, we will provide you with a top tips guide on how to protect your organisations against claims.

We hope very much that you will be able to join us. To register your interest for one of our mock tribunals, please select your preferred location. Please forward this invitation to any interested colleagues.

We will confirm your place ahead of the event and look forward to seeing you there.
