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.

“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. ”

“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 :) ”

“From the moment I reached out to Gepp Solicitors, I received a call back from Josh within a couple of hours. I found Josh exceptional, he was very honest and professional throughout my complex case. Supporting and representing me at very short notice and attributing to a successful conclusion. I cannot recommend Gepp and Josh enough if you are in need of legal advice and support. Very straightforward and stress free process. Thank you”

“5 star experience with these guys. Only needed one long chat with Fiona C. and felt reassured I was in very capable & experienced hands at a time when I was not. Also many many emails from myself to Carmel K. she was very professional, friendly and patient with my responses/question as I can be abit verbose at times and flood people with alot of detail which she took in her stride and quick turn-around. Would highly recommend both & their practice given the standard of service I received. Tank you again.”

“Curwens are the best solicitors. Having used them for a complicated issue in the past, I had no hesitation in going to them again for a employment related issue. I was not disappointed. Mr Omar Qassim worked with an extremely tight deadline with sensitivity, good humour and experience and gave me every confidence that the matter would be brought to a satisfactory conclusion for me. He was efficient and effective and an absolute pleasure to work with. I feel very lucky to have had him represent me. I wholeheartedly recommend Curwens in general and Mr Qassim in particular.”

“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.”
