Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties. These are separate from our legal fees. Typical disbursements in Employment Tribunal matters may include:

• Barrister’s fees for representation at hearings (typically £750 – £2,500 + VAT per day, depending on the barrister’s seniority and case complexity)

• Expert reports, if required (for example, medical or financial reports)

• Mediation or ADR fees, if the parties choose to mediate

• Travel and accommodation expenses, if travel is required for hearings or meetings

Employment Tribunals do not charge issue or hearing fees. If part of your case needs to be pursued in a civil court (for example, a breach-of-contract claim above £25,000), court fees may apply. We will advise you of all disbursements in advance and handle payment on your behalf.
