Why do I need advice?
If your employer is asking you to sign a Compromise Agreement you are required to have independent legal advice usually paid for by your employer. I can advise you on the agreement. I will check the agreement, advise on whether the amounts offered are fair and whether the terms of the agreement are proper. Subject to your instructions and if necessary I will deal with your employer over the amount of compensation and the terms of the agreement.
In most cases the employer will pay the legal fees. The Compromise Agreement will specify an amount towards legal fees. The amount specified will usually be sufficient.

Advice
We will advise on whether the agreement is fair and reasonable. It is very important that you receive the best advice before signing this legal document. If necessary I will negotiate with your employer concerning the compensation and any alterations to the terms of the agreement that I advise are required.
Many factors affect your entitlement to compensation in the compromise agreement, including:-
- The way in which your employment was ended
I will also seek to ensure that you receive the compensation in the most tax efficient way.

- the agreement must be in writing;
- the agreement must relate to the particular matters that may be in dispute;
- the employee must have received independent legal advice;

- the agreement must state that the conditions regulating compromise agreements are satisfied.
