Large Scale Settlement Agreements

In challenging times, we understand the complexities and sensitivities of making the difficult decision to implement workforce reductions.

We have extensive experience of acting as independent legal advisers to employees in large scale redundancies requiring the use of settlement agreements.

Our experience in this area means that we have been able to create a tested and streamlined process allowing us to provide high quality, time sensitive advice at a competitive cost level. By acting as a single point of contact for all impacted staff, we are able to reduce inefficiency by agreeing the format of a settlement agreement at the outset of the process to avoid your HR team having to deal with requests from a number of law firms each requesting different amendments.

What Our Service Includes

• Produce or negotiate a precedent settlement agreement template.
• An online portal for your employees to seamlessly upload their identification documents so that we can quickly and efficiently run our conflict checks.
• Visiting the employer premises to meet with all impacted employees on an individual basis. During this meeting we will provide the employee with specific advice on the terms of their settlement agreement.
• Liaise with the employer in relation to any queries the individual employees may have.
• Arrange for the employees to sign the agreement.
• Provide a signed advisor’s certificate.

The meetings with employees can also be held via video conference or telephone, if required. We are always looking at ways to modernise the provision of legal advice and are happy to make adjustments to ensure the advice is accessible for all employees.

We understand that the nature of the business may require the need for advice to be provided outside normal working hours and we are able to cater for this.
