Appealing a redundancy decision

Contesting a redundancy decision can be intimidating, particularly when you’re uncertain about what steps to take or if the relationship with your employer is tense. Whether you believe your redundancy was unjust or handled improperly, our solicitors can provide the practical, tailored support you need to make a strong case. We understand how unsettling redundancy can be, and we’re here to provide a clear path forward, empowering you to pursue the outcome you deserve.

Fair redundancy selection process

If you believe that the selection criteria used for redundancy were unjust or unfair, you may have sufficient grounds to appeal the decision. This will require a robust case supported with substantial evidence, which is where our expertise will prove invaluable.

Our expert employment team is here to ensure that your rights are respected, using their comprehensive legal knowledge to assess the context of your redundancy and ensure that the correct selection criteria have been adhered to. You can trust that we will advocate for a fair approach every step of the way, giving you the best chance of a successful outcome.

Redundancy payments and notice pay

It is essential that you know your rights to redundancy payments and notice pay, yet this can be a complex and often daunting task, especially when financial stability is on the line. Our employment lawyers are here to help you clarify your entitlements and ensure that you receive fair treatment and all the payments you deserve.

We know how vital it is to retain financial security, particularly during periods of transition. We can guarantee that you’ll receive clear, personalised advice on securing the redundancy payments you’re owed, allowing you to approach this change with greater peace of mind.

Unfair dismissal

Unexpectedly losing your job via redundancy can be a nasty surprise that can be greatly exacerbated if you feel the dismissal was handled unfairly. In some cases, redundancies can be designed to disguise the real reason for ending your employment or to hide a flawed redundancy process. In such cases, you may have grounds to make a claim for unfair dismissal.

Our expert solicitors are here to provide the guidance you need, helping you understand your rights and evaluate your options. With our comprehensive legal knowledge, you can pursue justice knowing that you have the right support in place to secure the outcome you deserve.

Settlement agreement negotiation

Depending on the context and complexity of your case, it may be possible to obtain compensation for a redundancy matter via a settlement agreement.

Entering a settlement agreement can be a daunting experience, especially when personal stakes are high, and there is tension with your employer. Whether you’re negotiating the terms of your exit, protecting your rights, or securing fair compensation, our skilled solicitors are here to support you every step of the way.

We understand the complexities of these agreements and will work closely with you to deliver bespoke advice that ensures that the terms are both fair and beneficial to your future.
