You could go to a no-win no-fee employment lawyer or Employment Advocate, but be careful, their charges are based on a commission and the costs can far exceed the average costs of representation. The no-win no fee representative may also not be experienced or operate under a code of conduct through the law society or ELINZ.
I.R Thompson Associates’ are members of ELINZ and Robert Thompson was previously a committee Member of ELINZ. So we are bound by a code of conduct and regularly attend training for the most up-to-date skills.
