Mass settlement agreements can be a strategic and efficient solution for employers facing the need to streamline redundancy or reorganisation processes across multiple roles within their organisation, offering enhanced terms to employees in exchange for their agreement to the terms outlined in the settlement.
We can visit your employees on site to help them throughout the process.
We can also draft standard settlement agreement terms for employers to use.
In the face of organisational restructuring and the inevitable impact on multiple roles due to redundancy, employers often extend enhanced redundancy terms to employees as part of settlement agreements.
These agreements serve as a mutually beneficial arrangement, providing employees with advantageous terms in exchange for their acceptance of the redundancy. This gives the employer commercial certainty moving forward.
However, ensuring the legality and fairness of these agreements is paramount. Each employee must seek out independent legal advice to safeguard their rights and interests.
At Julian Taylor HR we’re experts in guiding both employers and employees through the intricacies of mass settlement agreements. With extensive expertise and a commitment to legal compliance, we ensure that every agreement is transparent, fair, and legally sound.
When we act for employers we act in the best interests of the employer.
When we act for employees we act in the best interests of each individual employee.

Economies of scale
Employees should only instruct the solicitor they are comfortable instructing and should be confident that the solicitor will act in their best interests.
The benefit to an employer of introducing one firm to the employees is that economies of scale can be utilised to reduce the fee charged for each agreement.
Here at Julian Taylor HR we're a small but very experienced team of employment law solicitors. What makes us different to other firms is that you're going to be working directly with one of us - we won't pass your case off to a junior, or someone else working behind the scenes.
