Whether you’ve been offered a settlement agreement as part of redundancy, performance concerns, or another reason, our expert settlement agreement solicitors can help you secure the best possible terms.
Settlement agreements can offer a dignified and financially secure exit – but only with the right legal advice.
What does a settlement agreement solicitor do?
Our settlement agreement solicitors can ensure you fully understand the legal and practical implications of the agreement you’re being asked to sign. These agreements, previously called compromise agreements, waive your rights to bring employment claims in exchange for financial compensation and other benefits. Our team will explain your rights, review the terms and where appropriate, negotiate a better deal on your behalf.
In most cases, your employer will pay a contribution towards our legal fees.
Our settlement agreement services:
- Settlement agreement review and advice
We offer fast, fixed-fee legal reviews to advise on your agreement – often within 48 hours. If the terms are reasonable, we can finalise everything in a single call or meeting. - Negotiating improved terms
If the offer is unfair, we’ll push for more favourable terms – whether that means more compensation or extended benefits. We can often negotiate better financial compensation or revised terms, particularly where claims such as unfair dismissal, discrimination or whistleblowing may exist. - Employment disputes and exit strategies
We help you decide whether to accept the agreement, request changes or walk away and pursue other legal options like unfair dismissal or discrimination claims. - Protected conversations and without prejudice discussions
We advise on off-the-record discussions and protected conversations, ensuring your rights are safeguarded during these sensitive negotiations. - Nationwide and remote service
We advise clients across the UK and beyond. Our lawyers offer flexible remote consultations. No office visit needed.
