Why do I need a solicitor?
You have to receive independent legal advice for the compromise agreement to be legally enforceable and your employer will make it a condition of the agreement prior to paying you any compromise package. So you might as well contact a solicitor at the earliest opportunity to guide you through the process. The compromise agreement may be more negotiable at the beginning of the process.
An experienced employment solicitor can help you by correctly understanding your case, what leverage you may have as well as your commercial objectives to ensure that the compromise agreement properly reflects the compensation you deserve.
Employment law is a specialised area of the law, so it is crucial to receive the advice of a specialist employment solicitor. For more detailed advice please call Andre or Ruth both specialist employment partners at Stone Joseph on 0207 8549098.
