Do you need an employment solicitor to review and sign your Compromise Agreement? Are you being offered a fair deal by your employer?
If you are leaving your job, your employer may ask you to sign a Compromise Agreement. This is a legally binding agreement laying out the terms of your departure. You sign away your right to bring an employment tribunal claim in exchange for an agreed payment from your employer. A compromise agreement must be reviewed and signed by a solicitor to make sure that you understand what you are signing.
At Backhouse Solicitors, we are experts in employment law and reviewing Compromise Agreements. We will run through the agreement with you, explaining each section in plain English. If we think that you are not receiving the best deal, we will explain this to you, and we can negotiate with your employer on your behalf to seek improved terms. Our fee for this work is normally paid by your employer. Complex agreements sometimes cost more, but we will always ask the employer to increase their contribution, and we will always agree fees with you in advance.
The benefits for you:
- You will understand exactly what you are signing
- We will tell you if we think you aren’t being paid a fair settlement and will negotiate on your behalf
- Your fees will normally be paid by your employer
- If you are better off bringing an employment tribunal claim, we will tell you so
