How we can help you
- If you think you have been treated unfairly, you may have a potential claim which we can assess for you and advise you on next steps.
- Not every redundancy is straightforward and you may be asked to sign a settlement agreement. We can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive the best possible exit package.
It's good to bear in mind
- Redundancies and reorganisations require a great deal of attention to ensure they are handled fairly. Failure to do so opens an employer up to a host of potential claims which could lead to awards of compensation.
- Make sure you take some time to prepare for a redundancy meeting. It is a good idea to take some written notes with you just in case in the heat of the moment you forget what you wanted to say.
- During the redundancy consultation process it's important that you take notes during the meeting and ensure that you ask all the questions you can.
Specific questions about redundancy? We're here to help, with fixed-fee initial legal advice
Each redundancy situation is different and we recommend instructing a solicitor should you wish for questions to be answered specifically about your case. We are unable to provide free legal advice on redundancy situations.
Fixed fee initial advice for redundancy
For £150 plus VAT at 20%, we offer a 45 minutes initial consultation via telephone with a senior solicitor to help you address your redundancy situation and answer questions to support you.
We would be delighted to assist you further on redundancy matters outside of the scope of the initial consultation. All you need to do is speak to our team of advisors and we agree all costs (hourly rates) in advance for complete peace of mind.
