We understand that receiving a settlement agreement from your employer can be an uncertain and anxious time.

It may also come with a short timeframe and the need for expedient, but clear, advice.

Settlement agreements are legally binding contracts which detail the terms of an agreed position between the parties, whereby you agree not to pursue employment-related claims which is often in return for a consideration payment made by your employer. This can also result in either the ending of your employment or mark the closure of an ongoing dispute (but your employment continues).

Our team regularly advises employees on the terms and effect of their proposed settlement terms and can assist where needed with negotiating those terms on your behalf. We will be able to quickly get to grips with the situation you are facing, provide you with the necessary advice and guide you through the process step by step.

We can also provide advice on the prospect of any employment-related claims you may have, to allow you to make an informed choice on whether to proceed with the settlement being offered.
