Background
Our client, a senior business development manager in a national retail company, was informed their role was at risk due to an internal restructure. Despite a strong performance record, they were placed into a redundancy consultation with minimal warning and limited alternative roles offered.
Challenge
The client was presented with a settlement agreement, offering less than three months’ salary. They were unsure about the legal implications and whether the offer fairly reflected their rights and value.
Our Approach
Our employment lawyers immediately reviewed the settlement agreement and identified areas to challenge. We highlighted the client’s length of service, lack of meaningful consultation, and potential risks for unfair dismissal if the matter escalated.
We negotiated directly with the employer’s legal team and secured:
- A £23,000 tax-free settlement (more than double the original offer),
- A comprehensive reference clause,
- Payment for legal fees entirely covered by the employer.
We provided the client with Independent Legal Advice (ILA) within 24 hours, enabling a smooth and timely exit.
Outcome
The client left on agreed terms, with peace of mind, financial security, and their professional reputation intact.
