About Us

Castle Defence was formed in 2008 with a single purpose  

To support, advise and represent employees who may have been either unfairly dismissed or, in some other way, treated unlawfully by their employer.

Our usual method will be to:

• Meet with the client to take a full history.
• Write up the history and agree it with the client.
• Advise the client whether or not, under the relevant legislation, they have a good case and, if so
• Advise on the best way of taking it forward.
• Communicate with the employer to try to bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion. If not then
• Refer it to the Industrial Relations Department at Commerce and Industry for further conciliation. If that is unsuccessful we will
• Refer the matter to the Industrial Tribunal Service and, if necessary
• Conduct any negotiations with the employer, then prepare the case and represent the client at the Tribunal hearing.

We are happy to meet clients outside normal business hours at a place of their choosing, including their own home.

The principal in this enterprise is Andy Castle MIPD, although additional resources can be provided as necessary. For further details about Andys background and experience in Employment Law click here.
