Settlement Agreements: The Case Of 'Mr A'

Often, we are approached by employers and employees to help negotiate the terms of a settlement agreement. Whilst it can be a daunting process, with the right guidance you can achieve the best outcome.

In a recent case, our client (Mr A) recently found himself in a vulnerable position. The assistance he had been receiving with his settlement agreement from an officer at the union had been cut short because of her sudden resignation. A replacement officer was appointed but due to his already heavy case load and lack of familiarity with his case, Mr A believed he would be unable to provide the same level of support and understanding in such a short period of time. Without the knowledge and expertise of his previous officer, Mr A found himself unsure of how to proceed with his case.
