Employment Tribunal
When the deadline is now
Urgent turnaround drafting close to a limitation deadline, and amendments to claims already presented, added to any ET1 drafting tier.
Why it works
What this gives you
Deadlines met
Limitation deadlines in tribunal claims are among the strictest in law. Where days remain, this service prioritises your drafting to meet the date.
Claims corrected and strengthened
Already submitted a claim yourself? Amendments can add grounds, correct framing and repair omissions, applied for properly, with the tribunal's permission where required.
Honest triage first
If a deadline genuinely cannot be met, we say so immediately and advise on the narrow routes that may remain, not false comfort.
Transparent add-on pricing
The add-on and the base tier are both confirmed in writing before work begins.
Scope, in writing
What’s included
- Priority urgent turnaround on ET1 drafting
- Amendment applications for claims already presented
- Additional grounds drafted and integrated
- Time-limit verification and urgent compliance check
- Fee confirmed in writing before work begins
We prepare and draft. We do not represent you at the tribunal hearing itself. Our tribunal work covers claim drafting, particulars, schedules of loss, ACAS Early Conciliation and preparation. Where a case proceeds to a full hearing we advise on representation options and, where you want it, coordinate handover through our solicitor referral network. Zhan Associates is not a firm of solicitors and does not carry out reserved legal activities.
Transparent fees
What it costs
An add-on of £250–£500 to the base ET1 drafting fee, depending on urgency and scope, confirmed before work begins. No VAT is charged.
How salary-banded fees work
Fees are scaled to your gross annual salary: Band A (under £30,000), Band B (£30,000–£39,999), Band C (£40,000–£59,999), Band D (£60,000–£79,999) and Band E (£80,000+). Your exact fixed fee is confirmed in your Letter of Engagement before any work begins. We are not VAT registered, so no VAT is added: the fee quoted is the fee you pay.
Questions, answered plainly
Frequently asked questions
Contact us today by phone rather than email. We triage urgent limitation cases immediately and tell you honestly whether the date can be met.
Yes, by amendment, minor corrections are straightforward, while new claims or grounds need the tribunal's permission, judged on factors including timing and prejudice. The sooner the application is made, the stronger it is.
Often, yes. A forensic review identifies what the existing claim supports, what needs amending and what the amendment application must address. That review is the first step.
Tribunals can extend time only in narrow circumstances, and the tests are demanding. It is a difficult road, but the assessment costs little and the answer should come from analysis, not assumption.
