Severance work in England covers how employees are legally ended from their job, including dismissal, redundancy and negotiated settlement terms. A solicitor in this area helps you understand what compensation or settlement is fair, drafts or reviews settlement agreements, negotiates terms with your employer, and advises on rights during redundancy consultations and unfair dismissal claims. The work matters because proper handling can protect entitlements and avoid costly disputes.

Tim Edgeley
Partner in Employment Law
“I am so grateful for the service I have received from Poole Alcock LLP as a whole, but also more specifically from Rachel Day. Rachel and the team have been extremely supportive and helpful. Correspondence was always extremely detailed and answered all my concerns. The team put my mind at ease and ensured I knew what I was entitled to when I was going through a stressful and unnerving time. I would not be in the position I am in now without the expert advice I received from Poole Alcock LLP. Very happy the service. ”

Ola McGhee
Associate Solicitor
“Ola is incredibly responsive, practical, expedient and gives great advice. We worked on my case, worked out what the challenges were, and addressed them as best we could and I got clarity, certainty and a clean exit. Even though redundancy is never a pleasant event, Ola made it incredibly easy and working with her gave me the confidence to close this chapter and move on to the next. I'll certainly be reaching out to her if I am in need of any other legal matters in this area.”

What Severance clients highlight
“Great service form start to finish. With the help from Hannah Ross and Sarah Sowden, they managed maternity cover and a very tricky and slow opposition. All whilst being considerate of my incurring costs and an emotional and stressful situation. For me however, it's always the human approach they take and for this, I'd happily always recommend to anyone and everyone. ”
