Save £££ by going direct

Working directly with a barrister can be cheaper, faster and more efficient than using a solicitor. I work on a fixed fee basis, so there are no surprises. By coming to me directly and by undertaking some preparatory work yourself, you can keep your legal costs to a minimum.

I just wanted to thank you for your invaluable support this week in getting the "job done". I have very high expectations of myself and those I work with, this I know can be frustrating for some especially compounded by my over anxious state of mind - former director of major supermarket

Settlement agreements (formerly known as compromise agreements) are a great way of ending your employment relationship with dignity. They enable both sides to move on by agreeing matters amicably between them. This will usually involve the employer paying a sum of money to the employee in return for the employee's agreement not to pursue litigation in the employment tribunal. They may also include other clauses such as agreeing to keep the terms of the agreement private and agreeing not to speak negatively of the other party. Commonly they include an agreed reference to help the employee find another job.
