Student law clinic achieves four-figure settlement for client in advance of employment tribunal

The Aberdeen Law Project (“ALP”) is pleased to report that they have successfully achieved a four-figure settlement in connection with an employment related incident.

Prior to ALP’s engagement in the matter, the client was preparing to represent himself at an employment tribunal in Edinburgh, despite having no legal knowledge or experience. Lead adviser Neve Hamilton and the ALP team prepared the client for his upcoming tribunal, drafting his submissions and providing legal advice. During the process, it became clear that pursuing a settlement would be more advantageous than proceeding to tribunal.

The client said: “Thank you once again for your continued support and guidance throughout this process. Your expertise and the resources provided by the Aberdeen Law Project have been invaluable in helping me navigate this challenging situation.”

Neve said: “I knew this case was causing my client severe stress prior to ALP’s involvement. Hearing such a sincere message of thanks has reinforced my belief in the importance of ALP’s work for the community and I look forward to working on the cases to come.”
