I have just successfully concluded a Settlement Agreement for one of my clients. Read on to see how I helped …
What Is a Settlement Agreement
General information about settlement agreements, can be found at https://lincslaw.co.uk/services/settlement-agreement/.
My Client’s Story
My client had worked for their employer with no concerns ever being raised regarding their conduct or performance. Completely out of the blue, my client was told their performance was very poor and they would be facing a performance improvement plan, or they could simply leave their employment, with a settlement agreement.
My client booked in for our fixed fee Settlement Agreement service. Further information can be found at https://lincslaw.co.uk/fees/settlement-agreements/.
During the appointment, I identified several claims my client could pursue. With that in mind, I felt the settlement agreement offer was far too low to be accepted. I provided my client a full written opinion of my advice and they immediately instructed me to act on their behalf. Following my input my client’s settlement agreement was drastically amended to include a) further payment of benefits, b) an ex-gratia compensation payment three times higher than the initial offer, and c) a significant contribution towards legal fees.
Feedback from Client
My client was over the moon and provided me with the following feedback and 5-star review: –
“Sophie Goodwill has provided professional advice and fast response. She is very experienced in negotiation and works efficiently. She is very patient and understands client needs. Friendly and easy to talk to. Good communication skills”.
