A settlement agreement is a legally binding agreement between an employer and an employee. It usually sets out the terms on which employment will end, including any payment and other agreed terms.
No. You do not have to accept it just because it has been offered. The right next step depends on the terms, your circumstances, and whether you may be better off negotiating or taking advice before deciding.
In most cases, yes. Settlement agreements are usually only legally binding if the employee has received advice from a relevant independent adviser on the terms and effect of the agreement.
Many settlement agreements include an employer contribution towards the legal advice needed. The likely fee position should be confirmed before any work starts.
Yes. Springhouse can help with sign-off where terms are agreed, or advise on improving the offer if there are points that should be negotiated, such as compensation, notice, bonus, references, or restrictive covenants.
A member of the client care team will get in touch by 9:30am next working day, or later if you prefer. They will explain pricing, how the process works, and, if you would like to proceed, arrange a meeting with a solicitor.
Yes. For many settlement agreement matters, the process can be handled remotely. That helps keep the next step quick and convenient without needing to visit an office.
That is common. The purpose of this page is to help you take a calm first step, understand how the process works, and get clear advice before deciding whether to move forward.
The form should include a deadline field so urgent enquiries can be prioritised quickly the next working day.
