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.

Adrian Green
Partner
Works with Ella Savage
“I only had a relatively simple settlement case. However what did impress me, which you don’t tend to see much anymore, every time Ella and Adrian said they would do something; either call, respond or advise. They did it. I previously had a really bad experience with my former employer but Adrian and Ella definitely made the final hurdle very easy. Thanks Ella, Adrian and team, would genuinely use them again and I think you will feel the same. I know it’s a great review and I normally don’t remember to do reviews. However, what’s important is - Credit where credit due. Thanks :) ”

“Tom Moyes from Blacks was recommended personally and helped me navigate a recent settlement agreement after I was made redundant at work. He was very knowledgeable, did a great job at managing expectations and provided wise advice. Most importantly, he acted very swiftly, turned round amends promptly and helped me through a stressful period with complete ease. And to top it off he helped me negotiate a significant additional sum. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tom and Blacks for anyone in a similar position. Thank you.”
