We specialise in employment-related issues and can advise on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious issues, including those relating to all forms of employment related litigation and contract negotiations.

We also have extensive expertise concerning redundancy. We can support you through each step of redundancy in order to achieve the best possible outcome for you. Being made redundant or to be put at risk of redundancy can be extremely stressful, particularly after many years of employment, and we offer an extremely sympathetic service. We are able to advise you on your employment rights, and consider whether the proper procedure is being followed in respect of your redundancy. It may be that your redundancy has arisen as a direct result of the business being transferred – such as a merger or outsourcing, and in that case special rules may apply which protect your employment. We will consider your individual circumstances so as to make sure you obtain the best redundancy package available.

Compromise & Settlement Agreements

Very often employers and employees will reach an agreement regarding termination of the employee’s employment with the employer preparing a Settlement or Compromise Agreement. Generally employers are willing to make a contribution towards the employee’s solicitor’s costs of being advised on any such Compromise or Settlement Agreement. We will strive to undertake the work within the costs boundaries permitted by the employee at no additional charge to the employee.
