I had a great experience with McCarthy Solicitors and would highly recommend them. Both Daniel and Nicole were very responsive and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for me.
Daniel took the time to discuss the situation in depth and gave clear, practical advice on the next steps. Nicole then guided me through the settlement agreement in a lot of detail, explained everything clearly, and advised on amendments to the terms. Throughout the process I felt supported, well informed, and in safe hands.

Excellent negotiation of settlement agreement with Big tech

I reached out to McCarthy Employment Solicitors shortly after I was laid off from a Big tech company, and was offered a settlement agreement. Daniel quickly picked up my case and provided me with a lot of useful context on the labour legislation, current state of tribunals (not good) and my opportunities to negotiate a better offer from the company. I decided to proceed with the negotiation on a no-win-no-fee basis, and Daniel did a marvellous job by developing a negotiation strategy and representing my interests in communications with a company's lawyer. Eventually he managed to get more than 1-fold increase in the severance payment as part of the settlement agreement. During that time, Daniel kept me informed about all developments, sought my opinion/approval for all major decisions and promptly responded to all email communication. The entire process took a bit over a month to get all bits of the agreement aligned, but I felt like most of the delays were happening on the company's side. Overall, I'm happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend McCarthy Employment Solicitors to anyone in a similar situation.
