Equal Justice Solicitors

 

Equal Justice was the incorporation of "Lawrence Davies & Co" and commenced trading in April 2005. It was the brainchild of Lawrence Davies, who had written and edited the "Equal Justice Review" in 2003. The term Equal Justice is taken from the US Supreme Court.

Lawrence, who qualified in the City before quitting to do human rights work, wished to provide legal services that rivalled those offered by the top City firms, but with a significant difference: quality advice but at a price that did not leave individuals and many businesses 'costed out' of justice. He pioneered the concept of "affordable representation" from first advice to trial.

We look for the best costs-benefit outcome for our clients. We are expert negotiators and mediators. We believe that settlements out of court often offer the best value for both parties. However, we do not compromise claims where the offer is not satisfactory. Employers should have the opportunity to defend misconceived claims, and victims of bad treatment, the right to fight and win those claims. Our success record on both fronts is second to none.

For Employees, we have a proven track record in successfully suing major corporations and public bodies. Our principal lawyer has won a sex discrimination claim against the USA . We apply an innovative approach to claims. For example, we achieved a change in the law in the Sun Newspaper racial harassment case.

For Employers, we apply the same innovative approach and with equal success.

Quick victories

The best victories are those won early. We are not afraid to fight cases but if early resolution is both achievable and desirable, we will provide you with the tools to achieve that goal.

Utilising our expertise, 85% of our cases are settled before they reach an Employment Tribunal, thus helping to avoid expensive litigation costs for our clients

Successful outcomes

Should settlement not be viable, and you end up in the Employment Tribunal or the County Court, we offer a cost effective, and successful, advocacy service.

Of those cases that do end up going to trial - we win over 95%.
