About us
Who we are
YESS was established as a charity in 2014, offering affordable employment law advice to employees and employers who want to resolve problems at work without going to an employment tribunal. We support clients throughout England and Wales.
All our solicitors have actively chosen to step away from litigation. We saw the stress, costs, time and career damage associated with bringing a claim to tribunal and wanted to focus solely on resolving workplace problems outside a formal court setting. Our aim is to effectively address problems in a timely, cost-effective way.
We provide cost-effective employment law services by charging affordable fees and resolving issues early using a blend of practical advice, negotiation and mediation.
Our focus on conflict avoidance means that employees can often stay in their role and move forward with better working relationships, rather than leave in unpleasant circumstances.
If the working relationship is beyond repair, we concentrate on achieving a settlement that is fair and allows our client to move forward.
If we do not reach agreement we help our client to find support with preparing or responding to an employment tribunal claim, from a solicitor, a direct access barrister or other advice agency.
