Facing dismissal? We ensure you get the best possible outcome.
Your employer wants you gone. Maybe it came as a bolt from the blue, maybe you saw it coming. Either way: it's a profound situation.
A thousand questions arise. Is this even allowed? What are my rights? How much severance can I get? What does this mean for my unemployment benefits?
LegalBacking guides you through the entire dismissal process. We negotiate on your behalf and ensure the best possible arrangement.
With dismissal guidance, we take the entire process off your hands. From the first response to the dismissal to the final settlement agreement.
We analyze your situation, determine your negotiating position and conduct negotiations with your employer. You only need to decide whether you agree with the final result.
No more emotional conversations with your employer. We handle it professionally and strategically.
You've received a settlement agreement and don't know if it's a good offer. You need time to consider.
Your employer is reorganizing and your position is being eliminated. You want to know what you're entitled to.
The employment relationship is disrupted and your employer is pushing for departure. You don't want to just agree.
Negotiating your own dismissal is emotional and difficult. You're angry, sad or disappointed. That's understandable, but it makes negotiating difficult.
We negotiate on your behalf. Professionally, strategically and with expertise. We know what's achievable and go for the best result.
By leaving negotiations to us, you often get more than if you do it yourself.
The transition payment is the legal minimum as part of your settlement agreement. There's often room for more, especially if your employer is in a hurry or has a weak position.
A later end date means longer salary and more time to find something new. Sometimes this is more valuable than a higher payment.
Often you can be released from work during the final period, with continued salary. This allows you to focus on your next step.
A good reference letter is important for your future career. We ensure this is properly arranged.
Often the employer is willing to reimburse (part of) the legal costs. We include this in the negotiations.
Think of outplacement, keeping laptop or phone, non-compete clause, final discharge and more.
We discuss your situation: what happened, what do you want to achieve, what are the circumstances?
We analyze your position: how strong are you, what can you demand, where is there room?
We negotiate on your behalf and keep you informed. You decide whether to agree.
A settlement agreement must meet certain conditions to not jeopardize your unemployment benefit rights. Not all employers know this or take it into account.
We ensure the agreement meets the requirements for unemployment benefits. This increases the chance that you can apply for benefits after your dismissal if you don't immediately have a new job.
This is crucial. A mistake in the settlement agreement can cost you months of benefits.
