Compromise Agreements

Our Employment law Solicitors understand that employers often want to dismiss employees without following procedures or without having a fair reason for dismissal.
 
The solution is often a Compromise Agreement (also known as a Severance Agreement) under which the employer pays the employee a sum of money and the employee effectively signs away rights to any claims they may have against the employer. In order for a Compromise Agreement to be valid it is necessary for the employee to get advice from an independent employment law Solicitor.
 

We strongly advise both employers and employees to take specialist legal advice with regard to Compromise Agreements. Our employment law solicitors help employers with the drafting of such Compromise Agreements to ensure that they are valid and comply with the appropriate legislation.

Our Employment Law Solicitors also provide legal advice to employees who are offered Compromise Agreements and will assess whether the amount offered within the Agreement is enough in the circumstances. We act for Employers and Employees throughout Wiltshire, Hampshire, Dorset and further afield.
