If you have been asked to sign a settlement agreement (formerly known as compromise agreements) or you would like to negotiate favourable terms to leave your employer then DHJ Legal can help. We are experts at providing settlement agreement advice and advising on exit strategies with the aim of achieving the best possible severance package.
Settlement agreements are generally very long and loaded with legal jargon. We will explain everything and guide you through the process. If there are terms that we consider to be too onerous or if we consider that you can negotiate a better exit then we will help you do that. We are specialist employment lawyers with a vast amount of experience of managing exits from both the employer and employee’s side of the fence. We know how stressful the process can be for employees and our advice is always given with this in mind.
It is normal for employers to contribute towards some or all of the legal costs associated with the advice that employees are required to receive. Our charges will depend on the complexity of the settlement agreement and our involvement in negotiating on your behalf. We will always try to ensure wherever possible, that the employer covers our costs in full.
