Act in your own best interests; contact us now to ensure that you receive the best possible advice in relation to your compromise agreement and the various options open to you.
Compromise agreements are becoming more and more commonplace in the workplace and are used in a variety of different situations (e.g. where an employee is being made redundant or where there is a dispute between an employee and his/her employer).
Employees who enter into compromise agreements usually agree to give up any claims that they may have against their employer in return for receiving an agreed sum of money.
It is critical, if you are being asked to sign a compromise agreement, that you take advice from a specialist employment solicitor. Many people believe (wrongly in our opinion) that compromise agreements are always straightforward and that little or no legal advice is required. Our view of compromise agreements couldn’t be more different. Experience has taught us that compromise agreements come in all different shapes and sizes; some are simple and can be completed with a minimum of fuss and delay, whilst others are more complex, involve many different issues (e.g. shares, pensions and bonus entitlements) and require time and effort to conclude.
Whatever your circumstances, if you instruct one of our employment solicitors to handle your compromise agreement then you can take comfort from knowing that that solicitor will use all of their knowledge, skill and experience to secure the best possible outcome for you.
