We help both sides find a way forward. We give straightforward legal advice, explain everything in plain English, and make sure the agreement protects your rights or your business.
If you’ve been offered a settlement agreement, you need to get independent legal advice before signing. It is your chance to check that the offer is fair and that you’re not missing out on anything and to make sure you understand what duties or restrictions you may be agreeing to be completing the agreement.
Here’s how we can help:
We talk you through what the agreement means
We tell you honestly if the deal is fair
If needed, we’ll negotiate better terms for you
We’ll make the agreement legally binding once everything’s agreed
In most cases, your employer will cover our fee. We’ll keep things simple, quick and focused on getting the best outcome for you.
If you’re looking to end someone’s contract, maybe due to redundancy, performance concerns or an ongoing issue, a settlement agreement can be a sensible way to move on.
We’ll support you with:
Advice tailored to your business and the situation
Drafting clear, watertight agreements
Negotiating on your behalf if needed
Adding clauses that protect you, like confidentiality or non-disparagement
