Compromise agreements

We provide advice on compromise agreements to employers and employees. 

A compromise agreement is an agreement between the employer and employee that sets out the terms on which an employment arrangement will end. 

A compromise agreement will ordinarily provide for a severance payment by the employer, in return for which the employee agrees not to pursue any claims that he or she may have in an employment tribunal.  It is therefore vital that the terms of the compromise agreement are clear and understood.  

Our specialist in this area is John Dalby.
