Compromise
Agreements
A compromise agreement is a deal between an employer and
employee under which the employer agrees to pay the employee
a sum of money and the employee agrees not to sue the employer
in a tribunal.
Compromise agreements are only enforceable if the worker
takes advice from an independent lawyer on the terms and effects
of the deal brokered.

Most firms of solicitors offer this service, which is usually paid
for by the employer. We do better than that. At no additional charge,
we will not only fulfil the statutory requirements and advise you
on the terms and effects of the agreement but also take the time
to consider with you the commercial benefit and prudence of the
employer’s offer.
We are conscious of the fact that most workers offered a compromise
agreement will have two fundamental questions: what does the agreement
mean and is it a good deal?
We will answer both questions in a professional and understandable
way.
We can advise and explain, in plain, straightforward English, what
your rights are and how you can use them to your advantage. We specialise
in giving sensible, timely, practical advice when you need it to
help you choose the best course of action going forward.
