Employment Settlement Agreements in Canary Wharf
We are a firm of solicitors that undertake a lot of employment law work.
Our offices at 32 Bloomsbury Street are located reasonably close to Canary Wharf, (approx. 20-30 minutes on the underground to Tottenham Court Road Underground Station via Bank).
Employment settlement agreements consist of a core area of our legal expertise, and we sign off on several agreements every week.
Our work concerning such agreements include the following;
- Providing advice to our clients as to their employment law rights and the value of any claims.
- If so requested, negotiate with the employers the termination package to be paid under the agreement.
- Asking for relevant non-compete covenants to be waived by the Employer.
- Ensuring that it is commercially acceptable for our clients to sign the agreement, by amending the agreement.
- Providing special advice to directors and shareholders of the Company.
Employment Settlement Agreements legal costs
Our costs or a contribution towards our costs are usually paid by the Employer under the terms of the Agreement.
The amount of such contribution is negotiable.
Please let us know if you do not want to pay any more than the Employers contribution. In such a case, we can limit our work to ensure that the contribution is complied with.
Clients however usually like us to carry out a full service concerning such agreements and in particular to amend the agreement so that it is commercially acceptable for them to sign.
There are some common amendments which we usually make to the Agreements.
An example of this is to provide that any pre-agreed reference cannot be amended by the Employer, and for the terminal payment not to be reduced to zero following any breach of the agreement by the Employee.
We are particularly experienced in acting for clients where the settlement agreement is signed within a background of redundancy, threats of performance management or disciplinary action, or where there is long term sickness absence.
