A note on AI advice

Why this isn't a ChatGPT printout

AI is good at summarising the law. It is not good at applying it to your specific letter, your specific employer's pattern, or the procedural choice that fits this exact situation.

Claimants email this account every week with replies they've drafted using ChatGPT. The replies are confident, fluent, and wrong. The wording escalates a defence that should have been kept narrow. Or it concedes ground the law would have given them. Or it answers a question that hadn't actually been asked.

A prominent HR creator recently said "don't worry about your ET1, just get ChatGPT to write it." That is dangerous advice.

Every guide here is built from real case work, refined over weeks, and reviewed line by line. Same starting point a private client gets in a £500 + VAT initial consultation. Without the £500.

Why this guide exists

Solicitor-grade work, compressed

Each guide is built from the cases and questions that come into the firm. The same kind of detail a private client would receive in a £500 + VAT initial consultation, structured so you can use it at home, before HR escalates anything.
