Client stories

A managing director was dismissed on redundancy grounds with a month’s salary. The real reason was that the chairman wanted him out of the business. We helped him secure funding for his claim, facilitated negotiations, securing him a 6-figure settlement and the relaxation of post termination restrictions.

An employee had been put at risk of redundancy. The company was trying to terminate her employment to avoid paying £30,000 commission. We helped her negotiate redundancy terms that compensated her for her commission and other benefits because the company did not follow a proper consultation process.

Our client was offered either redundancy or a more junior role. His employer was seeking to use a redundancy argument to change his terms and conditions. We advised him on his rights, potential claims and gave him a strategy to negotiate that resulted in him leaving on considerably better terms.
