Settlement Agreement Assistance
I was recently made redundant and presented with a settlement agreement, which must be reviewed, explained and ratified by a solicitor as part of the acceptance process. The solicitor who dealt with my case was professional, thorough and very clear in her explanation of what I was signing and where I should be asking for changes to language. She helped me prioritise to make sure I did not overspend, and she managed to agree with my former employer that they should pay increased legal fees to cover the time she had to use to adjust the contract. The whole team at Brachers were compassionate and also very quick and efficient - things that are important when you are focused on decoupling from a company that has let you go so you can get on with finding a new job. I am very grateful for all of their help - thank you.

From the first enquiry to conclusion of business, every interaction was efficient, friendly and professional. I couldn't be more pleased and relieved how straightforward the Brachers team made my experience with them. I will have no hesitation in recommending them.

Settlement agreement working with Sophie Jarvis and Monika
It is lovely to have this opportunity to provide you with my experience of working with Sophie and Monika.
I approached Brachers not knowing what to do. I was in shock at the situation facing me with my now old employer. Emotion aside I knew I needed assistance.
I was fortunate to speak with Monika who described the process and who helped me greatly by communicating a path forward. This enabled me to negotiate on my own with my old employer to a point I achieved a favourable settlement agreement.
After contacting Monika again I was then able to engage Sophie Jarvis as my solicitor. She walked me through a 17 page document and I was able to communicate changes that I would like made.
Sophie interacted with the employer on my behalf as I just wanted to move on. The employer did not allow me to defend myself or gave me any prior knowledge of termination of my contract. I was at a point that I was considering taking them to tribunal on wrongful dismissal.
The changes to the settlement agreement were approved and I was able to sign with confidence which gave huge peace of mind.
I thank Sophie and Monika for guiding me through the process. Their clear communication and friendly approach made a stressful situation much more bearable. I have my mojo back once more. Thankyou
