Lloyd is a Partner at Attwells and Head of Employment Law. Jamie works closely alongside him, helping him with settlement agreements and other Employment Law issues.   



Today we will be discussing how to handle an Employment Tribunal claim. This could be as an employer, receiving a claim or as an employee, writing and actioning a claim.   



As a takeaway from this video, the two most important things you can do are seek legal advice quickly and keep evidence.
