AI is changing the employment dispute landscape, and for SMEs without large HR or legal teams, the impact could be significant.
Employees now have instant access to AI tools to help draft grievances, understand their employment rights and build increasingly detailed Tribunal claims.

And the pressure is already growing. 50,534 new Employment Tribunal claims were lodged in 2025–26, up 39% on the previous year, while 64,157 single claims remained open at the end of March 2026.
