Impartial legal advice for employees
The prospect of losing one’s job can be a worrying and distressing experience. If you have been given a Compromise Agreement to sign you need quick clear advice on whether this is the best option for you.
As specialist employment solicitors who advise on Compromise Agreements on a daily basis we can help, and at no cost to you. We will do our best to negotiate an increase in the severance package offered and ensure that any unreasonable clauses are removed.
We will act in your best interests and give you the confidence to make the best decision for you and your future.
- Expert advice from experienced Solicitors
- Practical guidance on the best option
- No cost to you
We appreciate that you do wish to be reassured that you are receiving what you are entitled to and that the tax-free element of the severance package can be paid free of tax. If the Compromise Agreement does not include a reference then we will seek that one be included and that a statement in an agreed form will be issued to your work colleagues when you leave.
You may be concerned about clauses in your employment contract restricting your ability to work for a competitor in a specified area and/or for a period of time. If you provide us with a copy of your contract then we will advise you on the validity of these restrictive covenants and their effect in practical terms.
Quality Advice - Nationwide!
We offer a nationwide service and have advised clients with Compromise Agreements the length and breadth of England and Wales.
You do not need to see us in person; the advice can be given over the telephone. If you do wish to see a solicitor in person you can visit our offices in Milton Keynes or Northampton.
Our aim is give you practical advice in plain English to enable you to make an informed decision on what is best for you. Signing the Compromise Agreement immediately may not be the best option. If your employment is being terminated for grounds other than a legitimate redundancy there may be room for negotiation.
