About Yerty
12 million workers face issues
at work every single year.
Many never do anything about it.
Not because they don't care. Because legal advice costs £200+ an hour, tribunal deadlines are unforgiving, and the process was built for lawyers — not for someone who just got sacked and doesn't know what happens next.

Information is easier to find than ever.
Knowing what it means for your situation isn't.
You can ask ChatGPT about unfair dismissal and get a plausible-sounding answer in seconds. But it might apply the wrong legal test, hallucinate a case that doesn't exist, miss a critical deadline, or tell you something that's true in theory but irrelevant to your actual situation.
Generic information has never been more available. What's still missing is insight you can trust, mapped to your specific circumstances — which rights actually apply to you, what claims you may have, what the deadlines are, what happened in cases like yours, and what to do next at each stage.
That's what Yerty builds: the reliable layer between free information and expensive legal advice.
What we built
We combined the knowledge of practising employment solicitors with the depth of thousands of real cases to build a platform that turns a complex legal process into something a normal person can follow.
13-step assessment
Tailored insights after each answer. A 6-section report covering your situation, rights, potential claims, and key deadlines — then a free 19-task guided stage shaped by your answers.
8-stage guided process
From understanding your issue through internal process, ACAS, tribunal claim, case preparation, hearing, settlement, and appeals — with tasks, tools, and context at every stage.
8 specialist tools
Rights checker, claims identifier, eligibility checker, deadline calculator, grievance drafter, case outcome analysis, and more. Each produces a specific, usable output.
Case Hub
Track claims, organise documents, build a timeline, and stay on top of deadlines. Encrypted, GDPR Article 9 compliant, EU-hosted. Whether you're self-representing or working with a solicitor.
Built on real tribunal outcomes
Every tool draws on analysis of real employment tribunal decisions — award ranges, success patterns, timelines, and the factors that actually mattered. Not generic legal theory. What actually happens.
1000s
Cases analysed
I kept seeing the same thing: people with real workplace problems who didn't act. Not because they were wrong — because they couldn't see a path through the system. The law was there to protect them but the process to use it was invisible, expensive, and intimidating. I wanted to build the thing that should already exist: one place that takes you from confusion to a structured case, step by step, without needing a lawyer to start.

What Yerty is — and isn't
Being clear about boundaries matters. Employment disputes are high-stakes, and people deserve honesty about what they're getting.
An information and case-building platform
Structured tools and guidance to help you understand your situation, follow the process, and organise your case. Every tool produces a specific, usable output.
Built with qualified employment solicitors
Solicitors mapped the situations, claims, rights, and legal tests. A practising SRA-regulated solicitor reviews the platform content. The data draws on real tribunal outcomes.
Complementary to legal advice
If you work with a solicitor later, everything you’ve built on Yerty — documents, timeline, claim types, deadlines — makes their job faster and your costs lower.
Not a law firm
Yerty does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or legal representation. We cannot tell you what to do — only give you the information and tools to decide for yourself.
Not a replacement for a solicitor in every case
Some disputes — complex discrimination, whistleblowing, high-value claims — benefit from professional legal advice early. When that’s the case, we’ll say so.
What we believe
01
The process gap is the real barrier.
Generic employment law information is everywhere. What’s missing is reliable insight into your specific situation, claims like yours, and a structured process you can actually follow. That’s the gap between knowing your rights exist and being able to use them.
02
You don’t need to choose between doing nothing and hiring a solicitor.
Most people start with neither legal advice nor any structure. No organised evidence, no timeline, no understanding of what claims apply or when deadlines fall. Yerty gives you that foundation. If you instruct a solicitor later, you arrive with the work already done — and their billable hours go further.
03
If we can’t help, we’ll say so.
Some cases need a solicitor from day one. Complex multi-claim disputes, serious discrimination, whistleblowing with ongoing risk. We’re honest about our limits because overpromising in this space causes real harm.
