Consider getting specialist legal advice if: you are planning a collective redundancy of 20 or more employees; your redundancy programme involves employees on maternity, adoption, or sick leave; an employee has raised a grievance or indicated they may make a claim; you are negotiating or drafting settlement agreements; you are facing an Employment Tribunal claim; or you are unsure whether your selection process or consultation meets legal requirements.
A specialist employment law solicitor can: review your process before you begin and flag legal risks; draft or review redundancy letters and settlement agreements; advise on collective consultation obligations and HR1 filing; represent you at an Employment Tribunal; and negotiate with employees' solicitors to reach cost-effective settlements.
For dismissals from 6 April 2026 in Great Britain, the ordinary unfair dismissal compensatory award is generally limited to the lower of £123,543 or 52 weeks' gross pay; exceptions apply. Discrimination compensation is uncapped. The collective consultation protective award can reach 180 days' gross pay per affected employee for relevant dismissals from 6 April 2026. Northern Ireland has separate rules. See Acas.
Look for relevant employer-side experience, check regulation in the applicable jurisdiction and ask about fees before instructing a firm. Do not assume an initial consultation is free.
