Julian Taylor Solicitors is the trading name of Julian Taylor Solicitors Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with registration number 0717586.
Julian Taylor Solicitors Limited is recognised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and all of its directors and members are solicitors of England and Wales.

Following a consultation by the Ministry of Justice, the results have been published and are intended to be implemented in summer 2013.

The key charges are;

• A £160 'issue fee' for straightforward cases (such as unlawful deduction from wages) known as 'level 1' cases, rising to £250 for more complex 'level 2' cases.
• A 'hearing fee' of £230 for level 1 cases and £950 for level 2 cases.
• A £400 issue fee and £1,200 hearing fee in the Employment Appeal Tribunal.
• A £600 fee for a judicial mediation.
• A £60 fee for an application to dismiss following settlement.

The Ministry of Justice's press release states that these fees would contribute towards (but not entirely cover) the £84m cost of running the employment tribunal system and that the government intends to review the fee structure following its implementation.
