Whilst we try to resolve matters by mediation and negotiation, there may be occasions when it is necessary to issue proceedings to protect your interests. Alternatively, you may need to defend a claim that has been issued against you by an ex-Employee. Whether you are an Employer or Employee, we will always try to resolve matters on the most favourable terms for you.
