I will draft and review your UK redundancy settlement agreements for maximum protection
About this Gig
Redundancy is a highly regulated area of UK Employment Law. Missteps in re-dundancy settlement agreements can lead to unfair dismissal claims or financial loss. I am Joe Aiston, an SRA-regulated UK Solicitor (SRA: 477657), providing expert drafting and review of UK redundancy settlement agreements for both employers and employees.
A lawful re-dundancy process requires strict adherence to statutory redundancy pay (SRP), fair selection criteria, and proper consultation. Whether you are an employer needing a watertight agreement to safely exit staff, or an employee wanting to ensure your severance package correctly reflects your statutory and contractual entitlements, I provide high-tier legal drafting.
I will ensure the agreement strictly complies with the Employment Rights Act 1996. For employees, I assess whether the re-dundancy is genuine or a disguised dismissal, ensuring your tax-free ex gratia payment is maximized. For employers, I draft robust confidentiality clauses and restrictive covenants to protect your business post-termination.
Do not risk your legal standing with generic templates. Instruct a regulated professional to draft or review your redundancy agreement.
