No. Everything you do on Valla is private. Your employer won’t be notified, and we never share your details without your permission.

Yes. We treat your information with the highest confidentiality. Our platform is secure and fully GDPR-compliant.

Using Valla is completely private and doesn’t create any official record. You can explore your rights safely without triggering any action.

Yes. Our assessments are conducted or supervised by UK employment solicitors who are registered with the Solicitors Regulation Authority. All of our templates and materials are written and reviewed by UK employment solicitors. 

That’s OK, our assessment is designed to help you make an informed choice, not pressure you.  Our assessments will explain why we believe your potential claims may or may not succeed in Tribunal. If something doesn’t feel right, you can email hello@valla.uk to raise any issues.

We believe that we'll succeed as a business if we empower you to make informed decisions. To do that, we offer a mix of free and paid services, using upfront prices that are transparent so that you can stay in control of how you spend. 

Yes, it's important to act quickly. In almost all claims, you will need to start Acas Early Conciliation within 3 months minus 1 day from when the problem happened. After Acas Early Conciliation finishes, you'll have around a month to put in your Tribunal claim. 

You can still take legal action even after leaving a job. What matters most is when the issue happened and whether it’s still within the legal deadline. 

In most cases, you'll need to raise an issue with your employer before going to Tribunal to show that you've tried to resolve it. If you haven't raised the issue yet, that's okay - you can still get an assessment and we can help you decide what’s best in your situation.

Valla has a free core platform that lets you track your evidence and issues, understand your potential claim and browse all of our educational webinars. 

You can also use the platform to buy templates for everything from a grievance letter to the ET1 Particulars of Claim, purchase coaching time with one of our UK Legal Experts, and watch educational webinars. 

The platform is free and your assessment report will be stored there -- you can then decide if you'd like to keep using the free features to track your case or not.

Free: resources, guides, some templates, and case tracking tools.

Paid: the case assessment (£149), coaching sessions, paid webinars, and advanced templates. Everything is clearly priced—no hidden fees.

No. You can use the platform to track your case, store evidence and understand your claims without paying. The £149 assessment is only needed if you want a legal opinion on your case.

The assessment gives you personalised legal advice on your situation. The platform helps you act on that advice, offering tools, templates, and coaching.

If you’re unsure whether you have a case, start with the £149 assessment. If you already know your issue and want to take action, you can start using the platform straight away.

Start by browsing our guides or using the “Do I have a case?” tool. You’ll get clear next steps based on your answers.

Yes. You can use our templates, trackers, and guidance with or without the assessment. Our advice is that if you feel like something is wrong but aren't ready to speak to someone yet, use the free "Timeline" feature to start tracking anything that feels wrong in case you need it later. 

The most important thing you can do with the platform is keep a record of what's happening -that can be used later on as evidence if you need it. You can also draft legal documents, prepare your case, track deadlines, and access step-by-step guidance—all in one place.

No legal background needed. Everything is written in plain English, with guided steps designed for non-lawyers.

We don’t offer full legal representation, but we do provide UK legal experts who can be there to support you as you represent yourself. This includes things like 1-1 calls, strategy reviews, document help, and practicing cross-examination. 

Our UK Legal Experts are here to support you at every step as you represent yourself. You can book coaching sessions online and work with the same coach as you go through your case. We also hold free peer support groups every month. 

You’ll receive a written legal opinion with clear next steps, uploaded to the free Valla platform. The opinion will go through the potential claims that you discussed on the call and give you an opinion of whether or not they're likely to succeed at Tribunal, with reasons why.

If you have claims that could succeed, you can then decide if you'd like to pursue them, and use the platform to take action or book extra support.

Great question - a traditional law firm is a great idea if you are looking for full representation. Our products are more affordable because we share the work of a case between you, the platform and the legal professional - we streamline the process as much as possible to help you save money and control your spend on legal fees.

It's a great idea to speak to both Acas and Citizens Advice as you work through your issue. Both of those organisations are set up to give you advice at a single point, not ongoing support. Our platform and services are designed for you to use from the very first sign of trouble all the way through to resolution.  

It depends on what you want and your resources. If you want to engage a solicitor to handle the case for you entirely, then a traditional law firm is a perfect option. If you are happy to manage your case with our platform and ad-hoc legal support, Valla can save you thousands. 

We can help with most workplace issues, even the complex ones. We specialise in the tougher issues like discrimination, bullying, and whistleblowing, and we can also help with issues like unpaid wages, sham redundancies, and unlawful deduction of wages.

We cover most employee rights issues, especially those that could lead to a tribunal claim. If something’s outside our scope, we’ll tell you upfront.

That’s okay - we have a lot of experience with complicated cases, like multiple claims, cases that could be out of time, discrimination and whistleblowing, etc. If your case needs specialist help beyond what Valla offers, we will let you know as soon as we can.

Your assessment will be performed by qualified UK legal professionals under the supervision of qualified SRA solicitors. 

The person conducting your assessment will either be an SRA-registered solicitor themself, or an experienced professional who is working under the supervision of an SRA-registered solicitor.
