Our employment team advise the Capita Group plc that employs up to 80,000 people. Such a large number of people mean the Group receives a number of Employment tribunals every year, a few of which they handle in-house.
Our solicitors train HR advisors who conduct these tribunals. We guide them through handing and defending a claim, from receiving the claim form through to the actual hearing.
We take them through each stage, providing details on disclosure exercises, drafting witness statements, and cross-examination tactics.
Over time, we’ve evolved the training and now include a second stage to the course focusing on the final hearing of a tribunal. We make sure that the person presenting the defence knows exactly how to conduct a cross examination. This individual training gives the Group the best chance at a successful defence.

We give them real life scenarios to practice with and train them for every eventuality they could face which gives them the confidence to face these issues head on” – Glenn Hayes, partner
