Mock Employment Tribunal

The total number of Employment Tribunal claims accepted by the Employment Tribunal service for the financial year 2020/21 was at its highest since 2013. We are continuing to see a rise in Employment Tribunal claims, according to the latest government figures.

The prospect of going to an Employment Tribunal can be daunting. Unless you’ve done it before, it’s difficult to imagine what it’s like to be examined and cross-examined, to present a case cogently, and to supply evidence to a judge and panel.

Our mock Employment Tribunal will give attendees a flavour of what it would be like in real life. In a role-play scenario, a team of experienced employment barristers (one of whom is a practicing Employment Tribunal judge), together with Ogletree Deakins’ London team, will recreate the workings of a Tribunal in a safe and non-critical environment where attendees can raise questions as the event unfolds. You will have an opportunity to understand the procedure of giving evidence, cross-examination, and re-examination, to discuss your perceptions of the evidence, and to predict the outcome of the case.

This informative event is designed for employers, HR professionals, and anyone with staff management responsibilities.
