Redundancy Solicitors
Termination of employment by reason of redundancy can trigger entitlements and potential claims, including unfair dismissal, if not actioned correctly. Our specialist employment lawyers can advise you on how to contest a redundancy, your entitlements, and how to make a claim or negotiate a settlement agreement. Opal Legal has been recognised as a Top 200 UK Law Firm.
Our Redundancy Advice Service
Early legal advice from one of our employment lawyers could mean that redundancy can be avoided, its effects minimised, and appropriate compensation paid.
We understand how difficult it can be to be made redundant; however, our experienced redundancy solicitors will help you ensure a fair redundancy process is followed, and that you receive a fair redundancy payment.
The law surrounding redundancy and redundancy payments is complex and, in some circumstances (and with the correct strategic advice), can give rise to high-value compensation or claims.
In addition, where 20 or more redundancies are made, employers have further obligations in relation to the information they must provide and the consultation they must carry out. Failure to do so can result in significant additional compensation for affected employees.
Our employment lawyers have particular expertise in advising and representing groups of employees where employers (including insolvent employers) fail to take the correct approach.
