How Wurkplace Can Represent You
Employment disputes can have a significant impact on your business. Wurkplace provides practical employment law advice to help employers understand their position, protect their interests and decide how to move forward.
Whether you need advice on a complex employment issue, support negotiating an employee’s exit or assistance defending an Employment Tribunal claim, our employment law department provides clear guidance throughout.
Employment Tribunal claims
We support employers facing Employment Tribunal proceedings, helping you assess the claim, understand the risks and prepare your defence.
Our services include:
- Reviewing claims and advising on prospects, potential liability and strategy.
- Preparing ET3 responses and grounds of resistance.
- Advising on tribunal directions and case management orders.
- Preparing disclosure, hearing bundles and witness statements.
- Supporting witnesses with hearing preparation.
- Negotiating settlements during proceedings.
- Arranging representation at preliminary and final hearings, where appropriate.
We assist with claims involving unfair dismissal, discrimination, harassment, whistleblowing, unlawful deductions from wages, holiday pay and breach of contract within the tribunal’s jurisdiction.
ACAS Early Conciliation and dispute resolution
Early advice can help resolve a dispute before it reaches a tribunal.
We support employers through ACAS Early Conciliation, respond to allegations and correspondence, assess settlement proposals and negotiate resolution terms, including COT3 agreements.
We explain your options clearly so you can weigh the cost, risk and commercial implications of defending or settling a dispute.
Settlement agreements and employee exits
We advise employers on negotiated exits, from the initial discussion through to the final agreement.
Our services include:
- Advice on protected conversations and without prejudice discussions.
- Drafting and negotiating settlement agreements.
- Negotiating with employees’ solicitors and advisers.

- Agreeing references, confidentiality provisions and handover arrangements.

We help you manage sensitive negotiations with a clear understanding of the legal and commercial considerations.
