WHAT IS A COMPROMISE AGREEMENT?
A Compromise Agreement is a very powerful contract between employers and employees (or former employees). They restrict future legal action, Employment Tribunal or Court remedies. You must obtain independent legal advice prior to signing the Compromise Agreement.
We will review and advise on the entire document so you are sure you understand the terms prior to signing.

Our Fees:
You can contact us for a FREE NO OBLIGATION DISCUSSION about your Compromise Agreement. We always inform you about any fees you may incur before any charges are made.
Your employer will usually pay for or contribute towards your legal fees – we will confirm this once we have reviewed the agreement and where necessary, we will negotiate our legal fees with your employer where the figure is too low or unreasonable.
When you will be required to contribute to legal fees:
1. If your employers declines to pay a contribution towards your legal costs (this is rare and can usually be negotiated with the employer);
2. If we agree to negotiate heavily on your behalf in order to alter the terms or increase the settlement offer. Depending on the employer’s contribution to your legal fee, we may need to charge you for any additional work where there is a benefit to you i.e. the offer is increased, a better reference is secured etc. We will discuss this with you at the outset of the instruction. Typically our fees in this scenario are between £250 – £750 plus VAT.
