As a CLA Specialist Signatory, we can deal with your Settlement Agreement promptly.
As the employee, the cost of this advice is usually paid for by your Employer.
We aim to ensure that employees receive fair and proper compensation for signing the Settlement Agreement. Our settlement agreement solicitors can also negotiate an increase in the compensation offered or any other proposed settlement term if appropriate.
Expert Employment Settlement Agreement Advice
Settlement agreements (previously known as compromise agreements) are commonly used to bring an employment relationship to an end on agreed terms. Our specialist settlement agreement solicitors provide clear, practical advice on your rights, what the agreement means, and whether the terms being offered are fair.
Whether you have been offered an employment settlement agreement due to redundancy, workplace dispute, performance concerns or another employment issue, we ensure you fully understand the implications before signing. We can also act as your settlement agreement lawyer if negotiation is required, helping to secure improved financial terms, extended notice, or additional protections.
Why Independent Legal Advice Matters
Because a settlement agreement waives your right to make future claims against your employer, UK law requires employees to receive independent legal advice for the document to be valid. Our settlement solicitors explain each clause in a clear, straightforward way so you know exactly what you are agreeing to, including compensation, confidentiality, references, restrictions, tax implications and more.
Employers usually contribute to, or cover, the legal costs of your advice, meaning you can receive expert guidance at no additional cost to you.
