Forensic Employment Dispute Analysis (FEDA)
The most expensive Employment Tribunal cases I've seen weren't lost at the hearing. They were lost long before anyone instructed a solicitor.
Many disputes become far more expensive than they need to be. That is not because the law is unclear, but because the evidence, the risks and the realistic options were never properly assessed before costs began to accumulate.
If you're managing a disciplinary process, a dismissal, or an existing claim, there's a good chance something about the situation feels uncertain.
The procedural history isn't as clean as you'd like.
The documentation is patchier than it should be.
The position your organisation is taking may be harder to defend than it first appeared.
I developed Forensic Employment Dispute Analysis(FEDA) to help employers assess disputes realistically before unnecessary costs begin to escalate This approach gives organisations a clear-eyed view of where they actually stand before committing to full litigation.
Employers who engage early typically:
spend less overall by identifying weak positions before substantial costs are incurred
settle more intelligently, with a realistic view of what early resolution is actually worth
arrive at Tribunal, if they go at all, with evidence organised and strategic position properly understood
avoid discovering procedural weaknesses after they have become expensive to fix
The service operates through structured fixed-fee phases — allowing organisations to assess, reassess, settle or escalate strategically at each stage rather than entering an open-ended litigation process from the outset.
