Employment law

Employment negotiation and agreements

A useful agreement must be understandable, workable and consistent with applicable rights. We advise in employment negotiations to assess proposals, define commitments and document the solution you decide to accept.

How we can help

Preparing your negotiating position

We assess the facts, documents and objectives to distinguish essential points from those open to negotiation. We review alternatives and risks before making a proposal or responding to the other party.

Negotiating with legal advice

We advise on your position and review offers concerning payments, conditions or the end of employment. The decision to accept, reject or amend a proposal remains yours.

Employment mediation and conciliation

Where a mediation or conciliation service is involved, we prepare your participation and review settlement terms. We distinguish party representation from the mediator’s role, and private discussions from formal procedures.

Drafting and performance

We check that the wording specifies commitments, dates, payments and material consequences. We review the appropriate way to formalise it and what steps may be available if the agreement is not performed.

Frequently asked questions

Must I accept an offer to avoid court?

No. We explain the terms and alternatives so you can decide. Whether a settlement is appropriate depends on the matter, not simply on avoiding proceedings.

Is a private agreement equivalent to formal conciliation?

Not necessarily. We review the substance, procedure and documentation because these can affect its legal effect and enforcement options.
