Employment Negotiations Lawyer

We are experts at negotiating on behalf of our clients. We help clients negotiate exits, so they can leave their jobs with compensation.

We take the time to learn what you want to achieve at the outset. We give advice on what is achievable and take the required steps to get you a better outcome. If you have already received an offer to leave your workplace, you will no doubt want to discuss if the offer is reasonable. This is often a tricky question, but something our experts can help you with. We have tried and tested tactics and can put together an Exit Strategy to maximise your chances of leaving the employment on your terms and with financial security (compensation).

If you have been given a settlement agreement (or had a “Protected Conversation”) you should get in touch immediately. Our experts can guide you through this process and will take the required steps to get you the best outcome.

We have more information on how to Negotiate a Settlement Agreement Here.

“Blair represented us in an Employment Tribunal claim from start to finish, including acting as our Advocate at the Trial. At all times Blair was extremely reassuring and professional in guiding us through the process and ensuring that we presented our strongest case. It was great to work with him and he represented us excellently.”
- Jon Kuhrt, Executive Director, West London Mission.

“I would like to thank Adam, through the support of the firm, Toner Legal, for guiding me through the entire process. The communication, understanding and personable approach was second to none. I would highly recommend the firm’s legal representatives for providing outstanding services.”

“I have used the services of Toner Legal on two occasions. The service offered to me by Blair Toner was reassuring and with his expertise, guided me through an unfamiliar process ensuring I was involved at each stage. While I was going through my case, he would suggest things that I could read or listen to online that could assist me. His extensive employment law knowledge is a huge resource and it meant I would get the best possible outcome. It also made the navigation of a system far less daunting due to his attention and professionalism. I would have no hesitation in recommending Toner Legal and their services.”
Ann Cunningham
“High praise for Blair Toner. It was encouraging to work with him. His personal attention, professionalism and dedication was the key component for a great outcome. He was always available specially with my job being outside office hours,the only time I could communicate with him was late in the evening but guess what he was there for me every time. I highly recommend his services. Thank you for your great service, knowledge, understanding and ability to put yourself in my position. You are great at your job and as a person. God bless you.”

       Toner Legal supported me on an employment matter which ended on a successful note. I liaised with Joanne, Sophia and Anca - they were all very supportive and prompt in their communications. Anca Cristea took my matter forward. She was brilliant - measured and considerate, and offered expert advice and input throughout. I have no hesitations in recommending Toner Legal.

     Adam Cooke was brilliant. Very methodical and explained the situation at all times, alongside expectations. Highly recommended. Even the other party said Adam was efficient and meticulous, so that in itself is high regard

     Anca and the team at Toner Legal have recently acted for me, securing the best outcome. Anca communicated throughout my case with clarity, care, and absolute professionalism. This gave me confidence and clarity about the process and the outcomes we were aiming for.
I found Anca to be empathetic whilst maintaining a pragmatic, grounded business manner.
If you find yourself in need of legal expertise, I highly recommend Toner Legal and don't think you'll find better.

     I cannot thank Adam enough for the support he provided during one of the most challenging periods of my life.

From the very beginning, he was approachable, responsive and genuinely committed to helping me. What impressed me most was his willingness to take the time to listen, carefully consider my concerns and always explain my options clearly. I never felt rushed or that my questions were a burden.

Adam consistently demonstrated professionalism, integrity and empathy. He brought a sense of calm and reassurance at a time when I needed it most, and his support gave me the confidence to make informed decisions throughout the process.

One of the things I appreciated most was his exceptional availability. Despite having many other commitments, he was always incredibly responsive and, when circumstances required it, made himself available outside normal working hours, including evenings and weekends. His dedication and work ethic were truly outstanding.

What also sets Adam apart is his humility. He is thoughtful, open-minded and genuinely focused on achieving the best possible outcome for his clients. Throughout the process I always felt that he cared, not only about the legal issues, but also about the person behind them. That level of compassion is something I had not expected and will never forget.

I am incredibly grateful for everything Adam has done for me. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for an employment solicitor who is highly knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive and genuinely invested in supporting his clients.

     I cannot recommend Adam Cooke and the team at Toner Legal enough. I came to them with a complicated, evidence-heavy employment situation that required expert handling. Adam took charge immediately. He was completely transparent about what to expect, reviewed my evidence thoroughly, and provided a clear, strategic path forward. His ability to cut through the noise and deliver focused, highly effective legal representation was exactly what I needed to secure a clean break and a fresh start. 5/5 stars—if you need an employment solicitor who truly understands how to leverage evidence, ask for Adam.

     I cannot recommend Anca Cristea and the entire team at Toner highly enough. From the moment I first reached out, their client services and admin staff were absolutely superb—efficient, welcoming, and deeply supportive when I needed it most. I was going through an incredibly stressful employment dispute during a period of poor health, and Anca was a lifeline. She took the weight completely off my shoulders, handled everything with sharp legal strategy, and ultimately secured a fantastic resolution. If you need a brilliant employment solicitor backed by a flawless support team, Toner is exactly who you want in your corner.
