Monaco Solicitors

Monaco Solicitors: employment representation for employees across the UK

Monaco Solicitors is a London-based law firm focused on defending workers. The firm presents itself as the largest employment law specialist firm in the UK that represents employees only and never employers, which according to its own description eliminates conflicts of interest compared to firms that act for both parties.

Settlement agreement negotiation and employment tribunals

The main service consists of negotiating fair settlement agreements for employees who have suffered unfair treatment at work. The firm reviews and signs settlement agreements, and notes that it is usually the employer who covers this cost, so it may be free for the worker. It also has experience in employment tribunal cases, although its usual approach is to try negotiation first.

The firm handles cases of unfair dismissal, discrimination, workplace harassment, restructurings and other situations of unfair treatment. Its services include reviewing settlement agreements, often with overnight deadlines if necessary, and representation in employment tribunal proceedings.

Client profile and coverage

Monaco Solicitors' clients come from a wide variety of backgrounds: manual workers, junior staff, middle managers, executives, professionals, directors and partners. Representation covers the whole of the UK and communications can be conducted by phone and email; if it is necessary to attend courts and tribunals, the firm travels.

Fee model and response times

The firm states that it offers full and upfront information about its fees, with no unexpected bills, and that it tries to offer 'no win no fee' arrangements whenever possible. In those cases, the client pays nothing unless a result is obtained. The firm claims to respond to enquiries within one working hour, informing the interested party of their options.

Digital tools and free resources

Monaco Solicitors has developed resources to facilitate access to justice, such as written guides, document templates, tactics and videos. Its automated web tool Grapple allows employees to create legal letters, other documents and obtain legal guidance at no cost. This legal technology work earned it the Law Society Excellence in Technology and Innovation award in 2021.

Awards and ratings

The firm has received the UK Legal Award 2023 in the Leading Specialists in Employee Representation category, as well as the Law Society Excellence in Law award for Innovation and Technology 2021. It has accumulated more than 1,000 reviews with an average rating of 4.8 stars, and more than 94% of them are five-star, according to the data it publishes. It has also been featured on the BBC.

Team and work philosophy

The entire legal team works exclusively in employment law, which guarantees a dedicated specialist in each case. The firm describes itself as an experienced team, with outstanding communication and negotiation skills, and a close and sensitive approach to difficult issues such as discrimination, harassment and bullying. Its stated goal is to resolve workplace problems and achieve the best possible outcome for the client. In addition, the company has donated more than £35,000 since 2024 to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, as indicated on its website.
