FAQs

Although every case is different it is important for you to know that we achieve a settlement for our clients in 95% of cases. Remember that negotiating a settlement agreement or an exit package is different from having your case heard by a judge in an employment tribunal, where the evidence is analysed with a fine-tooth comb. Often the threat of litigation will bring an employer to the negotiating table because they want to avoid the time and expense of going to Court. Also, grievances can be lengthy and complicated to deal with and an employer might be worried about getting it wrong and leaving themselves open to a claim or bad publicity. There might also have been a breakdown in relationships meaning that an employer might want to reach agreement quickly. With all situations it is still question of getting you the best possible amount so that you don’t under-settle. Although the majority of cases do settle, our lawyers also have a huge amount of experience in taking employers’ to the Employment Tribunal and winning, often against large corporations.
