Do I have an employment law case?

More than 40% of workers like you have experienced some form of bad treatment at work.**

But many of you never report your issues to a manager, let alone progress your complaint with a formal grievance or similar.  That may be because you have an unsupportive work culture, or aren’t aware of your employment rights, or simply can’t afford legal help.

But now Monaco Solicitors have launched a new – free of charge – service called ‘Do I have a Case?’ It can tell you what your legal employment rights are and what the chances are of you being able to make a successful claim against your employer – all in a matter of minutes.

Introducing ‘Do I Have a Case?’

Monaco Solicitors are leading UK employment law solicitors.  Their tech division (Monaco Solicitors AI) has developed this ground-breaking, AI-based service so that you can get free, personalised guidance about your employment issues.

You’ll be in the driving-seat for the experience, to help ‘Do I have a Case?’ provide you with the legal facts and initial guidance you need about the validity and strength of your employment case.

You don’t need any knowledge of employment law to use the service successfully. You only need basic IT skills to access it from your smartphone, laptop or other digital device, and a reasonable grasp of written English.

You can also choose whether or not you’d like one of Monaco Solicitors’ friendly specialist lawyers to get in touch or whether you’d like to go it alone for the time being. There’s no obligation to use any other service offered by Monaco Solicitors.

Getting started with ‘Do I have a Case?’

To get started, you just go to  the Monaco Solicitors’ website and select ‘Get Started’ on the ‘Do I have a Case?’ feature.

You answer a few simple initial questions about such things as your present employment status and work situation and provide a bit more information about the nature of your complaint, like whether you’ve been discriminated against, or unfairly treated.

Then you hit the ‘Submit’ button and the AI-driven part of the system kicks in. It processes your information by reference to a huge database of previous similar legal cases and employment law information, including the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the Equality Act 2010.

Based on that data, it creates a customised report for you, called an Advice Note. The Advice Note outlines the potential legal status and strengths/weaknesses of your case, and also addresses specific questions you might have.

Benefits of ‘Do I Have a Case?’

It’s efficient

• Monaco Solicitors AI service promptly processes your information and delivers fast feedback, so you can quickly decide whether to go it alone or to seek the help of one of our expert employment lawyers.
• If you decide to go it alone, your Advice Note will help you focus on what  matters most if you want to get a successful outcome to your case, by way of a settlement agreement or – if absolutely necessary – by going to an employment tribunal.
• If you decide you want to consult an expert (human) lawyer, having your Advice Note to hand will enable your lawyer more quickly to assess your case and their terms for helping you, such as No Win No Fee.
• It also frees up your lawyer to concentrate on the more complex and important legal aspects of your case.

It’s accessible

• The free Advice Note makes initial legal evaluations accessible to those of you who may not be able to pay for a legal consultation with a lawyer at this stage. This in turn helps to level the playing field so that more people facing disputes with their employers can get access to justice.

It’s consistent

• Each case assessment carried out by ‘Do I have a Case?’ is based on the same legal criteria, providing fair and consistent preliminary advice. In this way, the service helps reduce the bias that can sometimes find its way into human assessments.

It complies with ethical and professional standards

• Monaco Solicitors AI are committed to maintaining the highest standards of legal ethics and professional responsibility.
• They are transparent about the AI-driven nature of the initial review and suggest that you should follow up with personalised advice from a qualified and experienced employment solicitor, especially for more complex cases.
• They also strictly adhere to the laws and best practices concerning data security and privacy.

What next?

If you’d like further help once you’ve had a chance to use the ‘Do I Have a Case?’ service, or just to let the AI team know what you think of it, it would be great to hear from you, so do get in touch.

Good luck with your employment case and thanks for your time!
