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.

Samira Cakali
Head of Employment
Works with Teresa Davidson and 3 more
“I honestly can't recommend Winston Solicitors enough. I reached out to them when I was in need of employment law advice and received a call from Samira. She was friendly and gave me some advice when my world had been turned upside down. Samira handled my negotiation for me, along with her excellent colleague Dervinder. They made me feel comfortable, stood up for me and my rights, and negotiated a great package. I would wholeheartedly recommend them and would not hesitate to contact Winston Solicitors if I ever need legal help again.”

Roy Magara
Solicitor Advocate
Works with Shahrzad Seifi
“I recently worked with Magara Law and was really impressed with how professional and efficient the whole process was. From my first conversation, Shahrzad was clear, approachable, and made sure I properly understood every part of the agreement. Communication was always prompt, and the advice I received felt tailored, practical, and reassuring. The process was handled smoothly from start to finish, with everything explained in straightforward terms. I’d highly recommend Magara Law to anyone needing support with an employment matter or settlement agreement — they made what could have been a stressful situation much easier to manage.”

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. ”

Debbie Coyne
Partner
Works with Sylviane Kokouendo and 3 more
“I had just been made redundant and needed expert legal support. After searching for local employment lawyers, I found Slater Heelis and was introduced to Sylviane. From the very start, she was calm, reassuring, and able to take the emotion out of an incredibly stressful situation. Our discovery call immediately showed me that she is a lawyer you can truly partner with. Sylviane’s clear, confident, and humble communication helped me understand the situation fully – what was happening, what should happen, and what to expect next. Together, we agreed on a plan of action, and every step was handled exceptionally well. I was genuinely impressed by the professionalism, work ethic, and support from both Sylviane and the Slater Heelis team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of employment law advice.”
