If you've been asked to sign a Compromise Agreement you are required to have independent legal advice. Clearly it is best to consult an expert dealing with such agreements all of the time.
We will advise on the agreement without a fuss, quickly and you do not have to visit our offices.

No cost to you
In most cases the employer will pay our fees. There will be no extra charge to you unless the amount stated is less than £250 + vat or your case is complicated.
You don't have to visit us.
We find that people prefer not to have to visit a lawyer's office.
We can speak to you on the telephone and the agreement can be posted, faxed or emailed to us. Then after reviewing it we can again consult by telephone.
You don't have to use up your time visiting our office. People consult us about compromise agreements from all over the country.
We can negotiate about the agreement with your employer agree the final document sign it off and send it to you for your signature.

Compromise Agreements - The law
The law only allows employers and employees to settle pending claims under closely regulated circumstances.However it is possible for the parties to agree the terms under which an employee will leave and if this is done under an agreement known as a compromise agreement the employee is prevented from applying to an Employment Tribunal.
The following conditions must be satisfied
- the agreement must be in writing;
- the agreement must relate to the particular complaint;
- the employee must have received independent legal advice;
- the adviser must be covered by an insurance policy covering the risk of a claim for losses because of the advice;
- the agreement must state that the conditions regulating compromise agreements are satisfied.
