Procedure shouldn't decide your case. You should.
Even Footing helps you think and argue like an advocate — how to frame an issue, shift the burden of proof, and avoid the unforced errors that lose good claims. Grounded in the law. Never false hope.
The check is free and needs no account — it shows where you stand, what your situation might amount to, and your options. You sign in only to build and check a claim.
Where are you in your claim?

Start here →The problem we exist for
Self-representation in the Employment Tribunal has surged. Yet unrepresented claimants — often those who can least afford a lawyer — routinely lose not on the merits of how they were treated, but on procedure and framing: missed time limits, claims pleaded so the burden never shifts, arguments aimed at the wrong target. The substantive law protects them. The process defeats them. Even Footing is built to change that.
