Employees are, of course, protected against being unfairly dismissed.  Our approach is always, whether acting for an employer or an employee, to explore what each party's agenda may be and so identify the best way to handle the termination process and the negotiation of any departure package. 

We can advise you on how to handle performance, conduct and ill-health issues and regularly work closely with our employer clients to ensure that these processes are handled fairly.  If you are contemplating a restructuring or redundancy exercise, we can assist you through each step of the consultation process, balancing the need to be fair to your employees and your business' requirement to make any such changes swiftly. 

At the point of termination, whether it be a junior employee or a senior executive, we can advise on the terms of any severance package and the wording of a compromise agreement, where this is necessary.  If you are an employee being exited from a business, whether you want to leave the business or not, we can work with you both to protect your position and to negotiate a favourable departure package for you.  Our track record in securing top-level settlements for senior executives, directors and all levels of management is excellent and by acting for both employers and employees, we are able to offer you well-rounded advice and practical guidance. 

Although we focus on resolving disputes amicably, we have significant experience as a team of acting in the Employment Tribunal and the Employment Appeal Tribunal, both as solicitor advocates and working with Counsel.  We take a pro-active approach to disputes to develop the right strategy for the particular issues and to manage your time and costs effectively.
