  • Our experienced employment law solicitors offer fast online settlement agreement advice, usually paid for by your employer.

    Contact us today for advice to ensure your settlement agreement is fair.

    Fast settlement agreement advice

    We know that when presented with a settlement agreement, you will want advice quickly to ensure your agreement is fair and you have effective and focused advice to achieve the best outcome for your situation. 

    We offer fast settlement agreement advice and will always aim to start the process within 24 hours of receiving your settlement agreement enquiry. 

    There is no need to visit our office, we can offer comprehensive advice wherever you are over the phone or via video call, at a time that suits you.

    Our solicitors are experienced in offering settlement agreement advice and negotiating terms to ensure you receive the best deal. 

    Costs are usually paid by your employer

    In many cases receiving advice for a settlement agreement will be free. Your employer will usually pay for you to receive independent legal advice. This is because if you sign a settlement agreement without receiving independent legal advice first, you may still be able to go to an employment tribunal. The settlement agreement you receive will usually include a clause to state that your employer will pay a contribution towards your legal fees.

    This contribution will usually cover your fee in full, therefore meaning there will be no cost to you for the advice you receive. If the contribution will not cover our fee in full, we can offer advice about speaking to your employer to see if they will increase their contribution. If they are not willing to pay your legal costs in full, you will only have to pay the difference between the amount of the employer contribution and our fee.
