Settlement Agreement

Overall, my experience with Paris Smith was positive. Communication was regular and prompt, and I never felt the need to chase for responses. The team provided clear and helpful insight into how settlement agreements work and helped me understand what a reasonable outcome looked like, which we ultimately achieved. They showed genuine empathy for my situation while also being open and honest, which I really valued. Where I would have appreciated more support was around the negotiation of the compensation amount. While this began strongly, I felt the focus later shifted more towards reviewing the contract clauses, leaving me to handle much of the negotiation myself and to second-guess whether my approach was correct. This may reflect a misunderstanding on my part about the scope of the service, but it is an area where additional clarity or support would have been helpful

Clive was brilliant - highly recommend!

Dealing with an unfamiliar employment situation isn’t easy or nice but I managed to get advice, guidance and assistance from Clive. This made my experience a million times better. Clive was recommended to me from a friend, and I can see why. He is top class and very knowledgeable. He enabled me to pursue my end goal with confidence. He was worth every penny that I paid and I would highly recommend him to anyone else dealing with an employment issue. Thanks again Clive.
