What is an Employment Advocate?

The difference between an employment advocate and an employment lawyer is that employment advocates can provide legal services on a No Win No Fee basis. 

An employment advocate performs the same services as an employment lawyer.   We can defend you in your workplace and all the way to the employment court if necessary.  Our Employment Advocates either hold law degrees or HR qualifications.

Our team of Employment Advocates are ALL specialists in Employment Law, which means we are fully equipped to help with any Employment Relationship Problem you are facing.

Why do we do this?

Ask anyone on our team why they choose to be an employment advocate and they’ll tell you they love to help people.

We also enjoy the puzzle of working out all the facts and putting them back together in a logical and legal manner and standing up for the rights of people who are unable to stand up for themselves.

But Most Of All:  We get great satisfaction from turning around a client’s situation from being desperate, quite often in tears and unwell from stress to coming out the other end of it satisfied that they got a fair deal, able to move on with their life and work and put it all behind them. You can read about the relief our clients feel in their reviews.

Who We Work For

We believe that everyone deserves access to justice.  This means if you can’t afford an employment lawyer but need support with a workplace issue we will do our best to help you.

We are a No Win No Fee organisation*

This means that we will only charge a fee if we are successful in obtaining a financial settlement for you in addition to other terms of the settlement, e.g. written apology and reference.

But sometimes we charge an hourly rate:

*Where we assist with disciplinary and other meetings that achieve a non-financial settlement, such as job reinstatement, we charge an agreed hourly rate.  We will inform you before we start work if your work will be on a No Win No Fee basis or hourly rate.

How does it work?

I have been very much impressed by the help and support I received. It made so much difference to know someone was listening and in my corner. Everything to do with my case was handled with care and explained fully with full transparency throughout the whole process. My advocate was just amazing in the way she not only advocated for me, but also how she supported me through out the whole process.
