Monaco Solicitors will consider acting for you on the basis that your legal fees will be covered by a legal expenses insurance policy. Usually, the policy will cover the fees that you are likely to incur in fighting your case in an employment tribunal. Some policies will also cover or make a contribution to wider expenses such as the cost of initial consultations with a legal professional and continued legal advice and support throughout a case.
About us
