Carr & Co are one of the leading employment solicitors in Northumberland. We work with both employers and employees to provide advice and solutions to problems or disputes at work. We specialise in advising individual employees or employers on contractual rights, grievance and disciplinary procedures, discrimination and harassment, dismissal, redundancy or resignation.
We charge for time spent on your matter based on an agreed hourly rate for the person who undertakes the work.
Our current hourly rates are:
| Senior Director | Hourly Rate £295 plus 20% VAT (£59) |
| Solicitor | Hourly Rate £290/£260 plus 20% VAT (£58/£52) |
| Trainee Solicitor/Solicitor Apprentice | Hourly Rate £200 plus 20% VAT (£40) |
| Paralegal | Hourly Rate £185 plus 20% VAT (£37) |
We specialise in providing sound advice and representation to both employees and employers at the Employment Tribunal.
Whether you are an employee or an employer, it is vital to seek advice at an early stage, particularly considering the brief timeframe employees have to bring a claim, which is as short as 3 months less 1 day from the date of the dismissal or complaint for the majority of claims.

If an agreement has been reached between an employee and employer, a Settlement Agreement which details the terms of the settlement will often be required. Carr & Co Solicitors can assist employers in preparing an appropriately worded Agreement and can provide employees with assistance through every step of the process.
If you are an employee and require more information regarding the services we offer in relation to Settlement Agreements, please click here: Settlement Agreements: A Guide for Employees.
