Compromise agreements between employer and employee can be a means under which employer and employee can part company amicably. For example in a redundancy, the employee can achieve an   enhanced lump sum on leaving the employment and the employer by virtue of the agreement can be assured that he will not face a claim in the employment tribunal.

However to be valid the compromise agreement must be handled and certified by a qualified person. Barristers hold such qualification and under Direct Public Access are able to advise the employee concerned. Compromise agreements are thus important pieces of work which the employment team in Chambers carry out.

A member of the team Robert Rees has recently advised and certified a number of compromise agreements for employees under the Direct Public Access. In one case he was contacted on a Friday, saw the client on the Saturday, and the certified compromise agreement was immediately in the post.

The Direct Access team as well as having the necessary skill to advise on compromise agreements are able to advise on them with minimal delay.
