Have you been offered a settlement agreement by your employer?

Our experienced employment law solicitors provide clear, practical and independent legal advice to help you:

  • Understand your rights
  • Protect your position
  • Achieve the best possible outcome

A settlement agreement is a legally binding agreement between an employer and employee, usually offered when employment is ending, or where there’s been a workplace dispute.

You must seek independent legal advice from qualified solicitors or legal advisers before the settlement agreement is signed, because it becomes legally valid as soon as you sign on the dotted line.

Your employer will typically contribute towards your legal fees, meaning you might be able to receive expert legal advice at little or no cost to yourself.
