Redundancy Settlement Agreement Advice

Advice sought from Barnard & Webb (Peggy Barnard) following notification of redundancy from my executive position (Investment Director) after 9 years service.
B&W provided clear and comprehensive advice on my Employment Law position but also practical/commercial advice on strategy to achieve the best settlement through negotiation, which is the guidance you most require. Advice was also given on the Settlement Agreement and terms varied to reduce the obligations imposed post redundancy.
Peggy is a highly experienced Employment Solicitor, a 'safe pair of hands' at what will always be a challenging time for an employee. I would not hesitate to recommend to others facing redundancy at whatever level.

Great Experience from Start to Finish

I couldn’t recommend Barnard & Webb enough. They were brilliant throughout my case. I had a difficult situation with my employer which I was very uncomfortable with dealing with on my own. Peggy was professional, approachable, really grasped the intricacies of my situation very quickly and provided very reassuring and ultimately helpful and rewarding legal advice. Molly supported seamlessly while covering for holiday. Without their support I would have been somewhat at sea, would not have fully understood my rights and would not have reached the settlement that I did. Would recommend to anyone

Peggy was extremely professional but personable at the same time. She straight away made me feel at ease talking to her on the phone and she explained things really clearly regarding my redundancy and settlement agreement. Extremely thorough in her work and picked up on several key points and mistakes that my firm had made in the agreement. Her follow up on dates and chasing my employer made the process smooth and stress-free. Thank you Peggy.

I have used Barnard & Webb on two occasion's to negotiate on settlement agreements and have always been impressed and happy with the results. Jacqueline was professional, driven and empathetic (especially given the emotions involved) providing me with sound legal advice ensuring that I was fully aware of my options before I made any decision. I really felt listened to and supported and would highly recommend this firm.
