Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to get legal advice from your employment lawyers in Dartford?
We offer a flexible pricing structure depending on the nature and complexity of your matter. For straightforward advice, such as settlement agreements, we offer fixed fees. For more involved support, such as representation in employment tribunal proceedings or high-value exits, we offer hourly rates or staged pricing. You’ll find more detail on our employment law pricing page. We’re transparent from the outset and will always agree fees in advance, so there are no surprises.
Do you help employers in Dartford manage redundancy processes?
Yes – we regularly support employers in Dartford and the Thames Gateway through redundancy processes. We help plan strategy, manage risk and meet consultation obligations. You can access our redundancy guide for employers or use our statutory redundancy pay calculator table to estimate cost exposure. We also offer dedicated redundancy training for employers to ensure your internal teams are equipped to follow the correct legal process.
What is a settlement agreement and when should I consider one?
A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract that ends an employment relationship on agreed terms, often including compensation. They are commonly used to resolve disputes or as part of an agreed exit. Whether you’re an employee who has been offered a settlement agreement or an employer considering offering one, our employment solicitors in Dartford can advise on enforceability, negotiation and reputational impact.
Can you advise on restrictive covenants in my employment contract?
Absolutely. Restrictive covenants can prevent employees or directors from competing with the business or soliciting clients after leaving. Whether you’re seeking to enforce a restriction as an employer or challenge it as a departing employee or executive, we can help. Our employment lawyers in Dartford assess enforceability, commercial impact and alternatives, tailoring advice to your position. We also advise on contract drafting and renegotiation.
