Common questions about employment solicitors in Londonderry
How much does an employment solicitor in Londonderry 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 industrial tribunal claim in Northern Ireland?
Most claims must be started within three months of the dismissal or incident, and you usually need to go through early conciliation with the Labour Relations Agency first (not ACAS, which covers Great Britain). The deadline is strict, so get advice 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 Northern Ireland you generally need one year's continuous service to claim unfair dismissal (it's two years in Great Britain). Discrimination and whistleblowing claims have no minimum service requirement.
