What is a case assessment?
One of the most common questions we are asked is: “Do I have a good case?” It is human nature to want to know if the odds are stacked for or against you.
It can be difficult in separating a workplace situation that feels unfair from one that may give rise to a legal claim. Employment law can be complex, and the circumstances surrounding each case are different.
Our goal at Marjon Law is to ensure that our clients receive the best employment law advice and representation.
Sometimes we must tell clients they don’t have a strong case. Although this can be frustrating, it is hugely beneficial to know this quickly, which can avoid lots of further time, energy and money being invested in a lost cause.
When advising new clients, we will assess the situation and identify the legal issues, making sure you understand your position and how to make it work in your favour.
A case assessment is an ideal starting point if you:
- have been badly treated at work
- want to know if you have a case, and where you stand legally
- want advice on what you can do to fix your employment law issue.
We will:
- confirm if you have a case and the potential claims you may have
- explain the potential value of the case
- explain what you can do, including the key steps to obtain financial compensation.
How is the case assessment caried out?
We will review your documents (maximum 50 pages) which will take about 1 hour and then speak to you by phone, which will last for up to 1 hour.
Common documents include your grievance letter, disciplinary letters, employment contract, emails, and a timeline of events.
The case assessment is carried out by an experienced qualified solicitor or qualified barrister from
Marjon Law
and
not
by a paralegal or a trainee solicitor.
Marjon Law
is a regulated business and
not
an online platform.
What is the cost for a case assessment?
We charge a fixed fee for a case assessment, which will be less than if the fee earner was to charge by the hour to carry out the assessment.

Timing can be important
Employment law claims can be subject to strict time limits and therefore, advice should be obtaining sooner rather than later.
Waiting too long before investigating the available options could potentially affect your bargaining position or ability to pursue a claim. Seeking advice at an earlier stage may also provide more options for resolving a dispute before positions become entrenched.
Making an informed decision
Workplace disputes can be stressful, particularly when your career, reputation or income may be affected.
Making important decisions while uncertain about your legal position can make an already difficult situation considerably harder.
A case assessment can provide clarity by identifying the relevant issues, considering the available evidence and helping an employee understand the options open to them.
Whatever action is ultimately taken, having a clearer understanding of the situation can help ensure that the next decision is an informed one rather than simply a reaction to events.
