We see both sides of an issue and are in a better position to offer practical solutions. We specialise in the following areas:
Settlement Agreement
We have years of experience in advising clients on settlement agreements, which are statutory agreements involving an offer from employer to employee to agree to mutually terminate the employment relationship. An employer will usually pay your salary to a certain date, part or all of the contractual notice period, and often an ex gratia payment (which can be tax free up to a maximum of £30,000.00).To be legally binding, the employee must have received independent legal advice, this is generally paid for by the employer. Please supply us with a copy of your agreement and we will be happy to advise you on the offer being made. Please do not feel costs are a reason not to consult a solicitor as your employer should pay for your legal advisors reasonable costs. We can act promptly and achieve a clean break swiftly. Contact us during this difficult time, and we hope you will find a friendly service with a robust approach against the other side.
Immigration and work permits (PBS)
We can provide advice across the board and assist with applications for immigration, recruitment, compliance and work permits, including intra company transfers to assist in the growth of your business.
Redundancy and settlement agreements – Covid 19
