Settlement agreement advice
Settlement agreement solicitors in London
A settlement agreement can bring employment to an end and prevent future legal claims. Independent legal advice helps you understand what you are signing and whether the proposed terms properly reflect your circumstances.
Independent legal advice
Understand the complete exit package before you sign
Your solicitor will explain the effect of the agreement, identify continuing obligations and confirm which employment claims are being settled.
Where appropriate, we can also advise on whether there are reasonable grounds to seek improved terms. The right approach will depend on the background to the exit, the evidence available, the proposed payment and your priorities.
What we review
Financial terms
Compensation, notice, holiday pay, bonus, commission, benefits and the proposed tax wording.
Employment claims
The rights being waived and potential claims arising from the employment or proposed termination.
Future restrictions
Confidentiality, restrictive covenants, non-derogatory statements and continuing obligations.
Career protection
References, announcements and wording that may affect your next role.
