Collective Consultation for Redundancy
David has acted for a number of employee representatives in relation to collective redundancy consultation from different organisations post and pre sale and in relation to TUPE. Those representatives usually require advice (which they need in relation to the affected workforce which they represent) on whether the employer is following the correct process and whether any mistakes have been made.
David’s advice on possible areas of challenge help representatives in their negotiations with the employer for enhanced redundancy settlements. If such settlements can be reached David advises affected employees on their settlement agreements.

Common Questions Answered
Why do I need a lawyer to review my settlement agreement?
UK law requires independent legal advice to be taken before a settlement agreement can become legally binding. Without it, the agreement is unenforceable. An experienced employment lawyer will ensure you understand every clause and that your interests are fully protected.
How much does it cost to get a settlement agreement reviewed?
Your employer will usually pay for you to get independent legal advice on the terms and effect of your agreement. This is standard practice and is typically written into the agreement itself as a contribution towards your legal costs.
Can my settlement agreement be improved?
Often, yes. David regularly negotiates for increases in value, better exit terms and stronger protections for his settlement agreement clients. Even where an employer presents a figure as “final”, there is frequently room to negotiate.
How long does the process take?
With David, many clients get to sign-off in a matter of days if all they need is advice and sign-off. On urgent agreements David provides a same-day service, so a tight deadline is never a barrier to getting the right advice.
