Employment matters vary too much for one public tariff. A focused review before a disciplinary decision is different from defending a multi-day discrimination claim.

Where possible, fees will be agreed for a defined stage. Arrangements may include:

• —a fixed fee for an initial document review and conference;
• —a fixed fee for a particular letter, outcome or process review;
• —a fixed fee for the ACAS Early Conciliation stage;
• —a fixed fee for preparing the ET3 and grounds of resistance;
• —staged fees for case management, disclosure, witness statements and hearing preparation;
• —a separate hearing fee;
• —an hourly rate with an estimate, budget or cap.

Talk Legal Limited is not presently registered for VAT, so VAT is not currently added.

Before work begins, the scope, assumptions, fee, expenses, payment date and employer responsibilities will be set out in writing. Further work is not undertaken without agreement.
