Employment Lawyers Covent Garden
We are very experienced in employment law. Our office at 32 Bloomsbury Street is located conveniently close to Covent Garden. Please contact us for an initial telephone consultation, there will be no charge for this. We have a strong employment law team which includes an employment law barrister, Kevin Harris (called to the Bar in 2009).
We undertake work for both employers and employees.
We can also organise an initial fixed fee meeting at a reasonable cost.
Employers
If you are an employer and you have received notification of ACAS early conciliation or letter of claim from an employee or former employee’s solicitors, then please contact us for legal advice and we will respond and defend the claim on your behalf.
Employees
If you are an employee who has been threatened with dismissal or actually dismissed, then please contact us to discuss your legal position with a possibility of bringing in a claim.
Employment Settlement Agreements
We are very experienced in employment settlement agreements. We undertake detailed work concerning such agreements, and usually sign off on several every week, generally following negotiations upon the wording of such agreements.
If you are an employee who has been presented with a settlement agreement, then please let us know. We carry out detailed work, including reviewing your employment history, proving advice as to the value of any claims, amending the agreement to make it commercially acceptable for you to sign, requesting a waiver of the applicable non-compete covenants, and if you wish, negotiating/renegotiating the proposed termination package.
It is quite common for agreements to be heavily biased in favour of the employer and hence we spend a considerable amount of time amending the agreements. A typical issue is where an agreement states that if an employee commits any breach of the Agreement, however minor, and irrespective of when committed, then all the termination monies has to be repaid. This obviously is an unacceptable provision.
We will also consider share options and bonus/commission issues.
