Specialist employment law firms for settlement agreements, unfair dismissal, redundancy and discrimination claims. Your employer is legally required to pay for your advice on a settlement agreement.
If you have been offered a settlement agreement, your employer is legally required to contribute to your independent legal advice. In practice, this means a solicitor review almost always costs you nothing. There is no reason not to take advice before signing.
A specialist can often negotiate a significantly higher settlement — more than covering the time invested.
Solicitors know what employers will accept. A single letter from a solicitor highlighting legal risk can increase an offer by thousands.
Settlement agreements contain restrictive covenants, confidentiality clauses and wide claim waivers. A solicitor spots the traps.
A settlement agreement is only legally valid if you have received independent legal advice. Without it, you can still bring tribunal claims.
Your employer pays the fee (typically £350–750 + VAT). For strong claims, solicitors also offer no win, no fee arrangements.
