Our mission is to aid employees in finding a fair deal when they leave their jobs, by negotiating settlement exit packages for our clients, and also by publishing our knowledge on the internet for free for people to represent themselves. Our team is the most accomplished and senior team of specialist employee-side lawyers in the UK. We do not use any junior or trainee lawyers, so you will always be properly advised. Each and every member of our legal team is an outstanding lawyer armed with the knowledge and credentials to overcome employers in settlement negotiations and court cases. Although based in London, we represent clients right across the UK, as we’re able to carry out all communications via 'phone and email. The only time when it is necessary to travel is to attend courts & tribunals, and we are happy to do this when needed, but the vast majority of our cases settle out of court before they get to that stage. Our results truly speak for themselves, as we have negotiated countless millions of pounds for our clients and our results show that in around 95% of our settlement agreement negotiations we achieve a significant increase in the exit package amount. The reviews on this website are nearly all five star, simply because we pride ourselves in providing a personal friendly yet professional and efficient service to all our clients. Conflict of interest won't be an issue, you can rest assure that because we only represent employees, and never the employer, there is no conflict of interest. This is in contrast to most employment law firms, which represent businesses too. They are naturally inclined to stay on good terms with your employer because one day that company may become their client.
