Settlement Agreements

A Settlement Agreement is a legally binding contract that an employee is normally asked to sign on leaving his or her employment. 

Do I need to take legal advice?

Employees are legally required to take independent, qualified advice on the terms and effects of the settlement agreement. Advice from a specialist in employment law is key to understanding what the settlement agreement includes, whether anything is missing, and whether you should accept the offer or seek better terms. 

How we can support you?

 We specialise in advising on these, and deal with them on an almost daily basis, by giving very clear and concise advice which clients understand on the terms and effect of such an Agreement. 

Sometimes our solicitors may be able to negotiate with your employer to get you a better deal before you agree to leave your employment under a settlement agreement.
