Linder Myers has a team of settlement agreement solicitors who can help you to draft up new contracts and review existing deeds so that they fully protect your business. We can also offer legal support during any negotiations to make sure that your best interests are always met.
An employee needs to seek legal support from independent employment settlement agreement solicitors before they sign the contract otherwise it is not legally binding. If their legal team believe that the terms and conditions aren’t suitable for the individual, this can lead to a negotiation period.
At Linder Myers we make sure that your employment settlement/compromise agreement allows you to settle a dismissal or redundancy procedure without the time, stress and cost of litigation.
When drafting and reviewing your contracts, our settlement agreement solicitors will take care to include sufficient provisions that protect your business, which can include:
As we are highly experienced in preparing settlement agreements for a number of business situations, you can trust our team to draft up a legally binding agreement containing terms and conditions tailored to the exact circumstances of your case.
Great Defense I came across Amy Salim by chance but what a chance. She got to grips with my case quickly and fully. She took me through my options and strategy and I felt comfortable instantly. Her written communication is second to none. Very powerful writing and litigating skills without having to go to court. She is fierce and I felt I had a real tiger in my corner. She worked with me and all decisions were mine. This was my first experience of settlement agreements and she explained everything plainly and made things simply to follow. I could wax lyrical all day. I would totally recommend Amy to anyone needing an employment lawyer. Thank you Amy I will not forget what you did for me.

"I engaged Linder Myers to assist me with a very difficult matter relating to unpaid bonuses. Sensitivity was required as I remain employed by the firm that I needed to take action against. Alan could not have been more helpful, efficient, attentive or ultimately effective. The desired outcome was achieved with there being no long term damage to my relationship with my employer. In fact, if anything I now have a stronger relationship. I have no hesitation in recommending Linder Myers."

“I have used Linder Myers a number of times for employment and property work and have never been disappointed.
In particular, Alan Lewis in the Employment Department is a most experienced subject expert; friendly but always to the point and unfailingly across the issues. He and the team are always available and demonstrate the flexibility required when dealing with complex issues”. J Baldwin
"Alan Lewis at Linder Myers helped me when I left my previous employer. From managing their legal letters, negotiating on my behalf and protecting me in ways I didn't know I needed protecting, this was all the more remarkable given it all took place during Lockdown 1.
I was kept informed during every stage, and Alan was always at the end of the phone if I needed to call. From start to finish Alan was extremely helpful, friendly and professional, and in honesty, I'm not sure I'd have come out the other side of 2020 had it not been for his help and guidance.
I have already recommended Alan to some contacts and will not hesitate to do so again in the future."

"I would like to give a personal thank you to all the staff who had involvement with this case and the professional approach in which has been dealt with. The Tribunal was a day I will remember for the rest of my life. The professionalism shown by the appointed barrister was outstanding, as has been all the efforts leading up to the grand finale. The other solicitor never stood a chance, I watched in disbelief as he was systematically torn to pieces in what I can only describe as a comedy show. If this scene was ever to be put on stage I would pay to go and see it again, it really was quality. Once again Linder Myers have been 100% successful in winning the case for me, and I am very happy with the financial outcome. Once again Alan, thank you for everything." Neil Goldsmith

I required a solicitor at short notice when I was made redundant. Emma was brilliant. At very short notice she responded to my email, supported and advised me, and turned around the documents to meet the company’s deadline. She even rang me on her day off to ask if I had any issues with the issues she had highlighted in our email exchange. Excellent service.
