We have helped employees at a range of places in their career to negotiate their contracts, from junior employees, to senior executives and directors entering into high value benefits and share packages.
We can assist you either behind the scenes or negotiating directly with your employer, whichever approach works best for you, both financially and tactically.
Often, we find that employee clients come to us because they’re already involved in a process such as a grievance, disciplinary or redundancy, and they need legal support of their own to help not only to understand what is happening, but primarily to safeguard their interests if they have to go to the employment tribunal later down the line.
This is important because many of the legal arguments available are there to be established during those pivotal process stages, and might otherwise be lost to you if you don’t make them while your employment is still continuing.
For example, unfair dismissal and discrimination are not necessarily easy claims to bring and ensuring that your concerns are communicated as clearly as possible at an early stage (preferably during your employment) can make all the difference to you, not least in how complicated your claim becomes, how much a judge might award you in compensation, or how high your settlement might be.
Our service therefore helps you to clearly communicate those key legal arguments, either to ensure a healthy settlement for you or to safeguard your position if it becomes necessary to head to the employment tribunal.
The employment tribunal is not the same as a criminal court: it expects you and your employer to behave reasonably and appropriately to try and resolve disputes, rather than having the sort of highly charged courtroom drama that you might see on television.
Our approach is to guide you through the things that can be done to resolve the situation with your employer, even if that means that you ultimately leave the business, preferably with some form of compensation.
At the same time, we can help you to appropriately lay the groundwork for a legal claim, so that you essentially come away legally prepared if an amicable departure cannot be achieved.
We advise you on the settlement agreement that you’ve received from your employer, helping to transform the complicated legal language into something much more straightforward so that, in what is usually a very stressful time, you understand the practical impact that it’s going to have on you.
Fees are charged in accordance with the fee structures of the above-named law firms.
