Common questions about employment solicitors in Norwich
How much does an employment solicitor in Norwich charge?
Many employment solicitors offer a fixed fee for an initial advice session, then either an hourly rate or a fixed fee for tribunal representation depending on complexity. Some unfair dismissal and discrimination cases can also be taken on a no win, no fee basis.
How long do I have to bring an employment tribunal claim?
You generally have just three months minus one day from the date of dismissal or the incident to start early conciliation with ACAS, which is a required first step before most tribunal claims. This deadline is strict and rarely extended, so it's important to act quickly.
Can my employer fire me for seeking legal advice?
No — taking legal advice about your employment rights is protected activity, and being disciplined or dismissed for it could itself form the basis of a further claim. You're also under no obligation to tell your employer you've spoken to a solicitor.
Do I need to have worked somewhere for a set time before claiming in Norwich?
For most unfair dismissal claims you generally need at least two years' continuous service, but claims involving discrimination, whistleblowing, or certain automatic unfair dismissal reasons have no minimum length of service requirement.
