FAQ's

Q.    I have received written notice of a disciplinary hearing, can my lawyer come with me?

A.    Most employers will not allow a lawyer to attend.  However, you have the statutory right to be accompanied by a trade union representative, or colleague.  You do not have to be a trade union member for a trade union representative to be your companion.

Q.    If I am not a trade union member, how can I get a trade union official to accompany me?

A.    Russell Jones & Walker has long-standing relationships with trade unions, and Connect in particular.  We offer a special service to our clients, allowing them to benefit from a trade union representative from Connect at workplace hearings.

Q.    Do any other law firms provide this service?

A.    No.  We believe that Russell Jones & Walker’s “Executive Reps” service is the only service of its kind.

Q.    How much does it cost?

A.    The Executive Reps service starts at £400+VAT for accompaniment at a straightforward workplace hearing (which includes an administration fee).
