Employment
Compromise Agreements: If your employer and you have reached an agreement where he/it would pay you in excess of what you are legal/statutorily entitled to, such an agreement must be approved by a solicitor who is independent of your employer.
This is a solicitor of your choice must act for you and we will be pleased to act for you, provided we have not acted for your employer previously.
As our Client, you are personally liable to pay our fees, generally, there is a clause in the compromise agreement which states that your employer will meet this costs subject to a maximum amount.
We will be pleased to act for you and to advise you as to the suitability of such payment terms and conclude the agreement.
Employment Tribunal Applications:
In the event your employment has been terminated in an unfair manner or is not the subject of a compromise agreement, then you must within three months from the date of termination of your employment make an application for unfair dismissal or other form of remedy to the local Employment Tribunal.
We can assist you from the very outset up to the final hearing. It may make sense to check with your Trade Union or your Home Insurance policies to see if you are covered for litigations/legal expenses cover, as otherwise none of the fees paid to us cannot be recovered in Tribunal proceedings.
