We understand how difficult leaving a job can be, particularly when it wasn’t your choice.A Compromise Agreement is an agreement between an employee and employer which sets out the terms and conditions by which an employment will be terminated. This agreement is legally binding and should be skilfully negotiated so that you receive what you are entitled too. You need someone who understands the legal issues to guide you through it.  We are happy to talk this through in a free initial call.

Our friendly and approachable solicitors will review your agreement and advise you whether you are receiving the correct amount.  If changes need to be made we will negotiate these on your behalf with your employer.

We will explain the agreement clearly and without using legal jargon so that you understand exactly what you are agreeing to sign.  Our solicitors have a wealth of employment law experience and have advised many clients who have had their employment contract terminated. Whatever your questions, we will be happy to help. 

Finding a Compromise

If you have been offered a Compromise Agreement by your employer or one has been suggested, you will need legal advice.  A Compromise Agreement is not valid unless you have been legally advised and this is certified in the agreement. 

Under a Compromise Agreement you sign away your right to bring a claim against your employer in return for some money. The law only allows this to happen if you have received expert advice. 

What it costs

In most cases your employer will pay our fees.  We always agree fees before incurring them, so you will not get any unwelcome surprises.
