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.

“Once Natalie reviewed my case and we spoke over the phone, she knew I had a deadline of Monday to get advice on a figure and put this forward. The empathy and understanding she displayed was second to none. Natalie was on holiday on the Friday, but she made the effort to pass this over to her colleague Helen. On the Friday I had a very happy surprise waiting in my inbox. I then forwarded this figure to my Acas representative, and negotiations are now going under way today (Monday). I thanked them both for this. Going the extra mile and it was greatly appreciated, as I have had a rather tough 4 months or so. Excellent service, and for them both to do this for me proved a lot to me. There are some good people still left out there. Her patience and empathy on the phone to me was very professional and also very human. I was recommended Hansill’s from a friend in Lancaster where I live. I will be sure to recommend to anyone who may need a solicitor and asks me for advice in future. Thank you again, and kind regards, Marc ”

Works with Carrie Crown
“Jeremy was very generous and kind with his time and his due diligence was very insightful. Jeremy was my first formal experience dealing with a solicitor. Despite him not knowing this, his grounded nature helped me navigate the complexities of negotiation keeping my expectations in check. He was very generous with his offerings putting the client ahead of expense. Additionally, Amrit provided great assistance with ad hoc requests. Would highly recommend Jeremy to anyone going through settlement agreement struggles.”

Works with Tom Bourke
“I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service I received from Jeff Kong and the team at B P Collins. From the very beginning, Jeff provided clear, professional guidance and was always approachable, offering sound advice throughout the entire process.I came to Jeff after receiving an initial compensation offer from my ex-employer, which I felt was inadequate. Jeff took the time to thoroughly understand my case, explained all my options, and developed a clear strategy to negotiate a better outcome. His negotiation skills were truly impressive, and thanks to his hard work and expertise, I received a compensation package that was significantly higher than the original offer.I felt supported and confident throughout the entire process, knowing that I was in capable hands. The level of professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to achieving the best possible result was second to none. I cannot recommend Jeff Kong and BpCollins highly enough for anyone seeking expert employment legal advice or representation.Thank you once again, Jeff, for your outstanding work – it made all the difference!”

“I recently worked with Peter on an employment settlement, and his service was fantastic from start to finish. He was clear, supportive, and incredibly efficient throughout the entire process. Peter took the time to explain every step in a way that made me feel confident and reassured, and his attention to detail was second to none. What could have been a stressful experience became smooth and straightforward thanks to his expertise. I’m genuinely grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone needing employment law advice.”
