Legal

The BAJ provides access to legal advice on every aspect of employment and copyright law. Together with our in-house solicitor, we retain the services of expert barristers at Outer Temple Chambers, at no charge to BAJ members, taking cases to an employment tribunal or a county court where appropriate.

​

There are no guarantees in litigation, and the BAJ has a responsibility to safeguard its funds for all its members. No two cases are the same, and it is a BAJ policy to pursue members' cases where counsel advices there is a greater than a 50% chance of success.*

​

Initial contact for legal advice should be via contact with the BAJ Union office, your rerquest for legal help and advice will be forwarded to our Solicitor. If deemed necessary, the union's solicitor will be engaged to act for members.  We do not advise on criminal matters.
