Trinity Chambers has one of the largest practice groups of employment law barristers in the North of England. The employment law barristers regularly appear on behalf of both employers and employees. They advise and appear at all stages of employment law disputes including providing pre-litigation advice and representation in relation to disciplinary proceedings. They attend case management discussions, provide representation at Employment Tribunal proceedings as well as settling proceedings and notices of appeal.
All barristers in Trinity's employment law group have substantial experience of appearing before the Employment Tribunal, the Employment Appeal Tribunal and, in some instances, the Court of Appeal. Trinity's employment law barristers are recognised as having a pragmatic and cost effective approach often punching above their weight. They have been described as being user friendly and approachable.
The size of the employment law team means that Trinity are able to provide barristers in terms of cost and experience proportionate to the legal issues involved.
The majority of Trinity's employment law barristers have developed a particular reputation for dealing with equal pay claims. Several Trinity barristers are on the Equality and Human Rights Commission's panel of preferred Counsel as well as the Treasury Solicitor's approved panel of Counsel.
Because of Trinity's proximity to the border, the barristers are frequently instructed in relation to Employment Tribunal cases held in Scotland. With Chambers in Newcastle and Middlesbrough Trinity's employment law barristers have wide geographical coverage, they are also happy to travel extensively nationwide to deal with hearings.
The employment law team act for Trade Unions, Local Authorities, NHS Trusts and Blue Chip companies, as well as SME’s and partnerships.
Given the frequent changes in employment case law and legislation the barristers regularly provide in-house and other training events, including mock Employment Tribunals attracting CPD accreditation.
Barristers in the employment law group are consistently mentioned in the Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners directories.
