ET3 Help for Employers
Receiving an employment tribunal claim can be daunting, and responding correctly is critical. Our ET3 help for employers service ensures a robust response is prepared accurately, on time, and in a way that supports your overall defence strategy.
We help employers complete and submit their ET3 form with confidence, reducing risk and strengthening their position from the outset.
What is an ET3 Response?
The ET3 form is your formal response to an employment tribunal claim. It sets out your defence and must be submitted within strict time limits, usually within 28 days of receiving the claim.
Errors or omissions in your ET3 can seriously affect your ability to defend the claim, which is why early expert advice is essential.

We provide practical, specialist support to ensure your ET3 response is clear, complete and aligned with your defence strategy.

A Strong Start to Your Tribunal Defence
Your ET3 response forms the foundation of your defence. A well-prepared response improves your position throughout the tribunal process.

What Happens After the ET3?
Once your ET3 is submitted, the tribunal process continues with case management, evidence preparation and, in some cases, a final hearing.
We can continue to support you throughout, including preparing witness statements and representing you at hearings. Learn more about our employment tribunal representation for employers service.
