The Employment Law & Settlement Agreement Solicitors handle employment law matters on behalf of both employers and employees, specialising in particular in handling settlement agreements and non-contentious employment law work.
In terms of settlement agreements, we provide the independent legal advice required to employees on the settlement agreement. We also handle the negotiations on their behalf with their employer or their legal representatives in terms of brokering amendments to the settlement agreement, including improvements in the financial package.
We also handle settlement agreements on behalf of employers. Not only do we draft the settlement agreement for them, but we also handle the negotiations with the employee or their legal representatives on their behalf.
The Employment Law & Settlement Agreement Solicitors can be contacted either by telephone on 0333 301 0700, or by completing our contact us form below. With a head office in Wilmslow, Cheshire, and 68 branch offices nationwide, including in Manchester and Liverpool, we can handle your case wherever you are based in the country. The Employment Law & Settlement Agreement Solicitors also offer a free initial consultation.
Over the years, we have expanded our network of offices considerably on the back of a long track record of success and upon the specialist expertise we have built up in employment law and in the handling of settlement agreements, and we therefore now have an extensive national presence.
In terms of how our firm is structured, administratively, everything is carried out from our Wilmslow, Cheshire office. However, outside of that, we have a large network of 68 virtual offices throughout the country where we meet client’s, and from which we are able to work away from our administrative central office, as and when required. Our virtual offices are run by our business partners, who provide reception facilities, mailing services, and telephony services for us.
As a representative from our firm is not always present at any given virtual office on a 24/7 basis, then client’s can only be seen at one of our virtual offices strictly by appointment only.
As a firm with a national presence, the Employment Law & Settlement Agreement Solicitors can ensure that you will be able to see a solicitor locally, with extensive experience in dealing with employment law matters on behalf of both employers and employees, including the handling of settlement agreements.
Should you have an employment law case which you require assistance with, please do not hesitate to contact us on 0333 301 0700. Alternatively, please complete the contact us form below.
If you have been offered a Settlement Agreement which you require independent legal advice upon, then please contact us immediately. We can then arrange an appointment with you to go through the Settlement Agreement at whichever of our offices is local to you, or even over the telephone if that is what you would prefer
Settlement Agreements used to be known as Compromise Agreements, until the name was changed to Settlement Agreements on the 29th July 2013.
Should you be an employer who is looking to settle a dispute with an employee via a Settlement Agreement, then the Employment Law & Settlement Agreement Solicitors can both advise upon and draft the Settlement Agreement for you.
