Settlement agreements



You may have received a settlement agreement as part of a redundancy process or as an alternative to commencing a performance improvement plan (PIP).

We have advised hundreds of employees (like you) on their settlement agreements.

A settlement agreement, formerly known as a compromise agreement, is a legally binding document between you and your employer, which will resolve any disputes or claims you may may have against your employer and/or its employees, usually in exchange for a financial settlement and/or benefits.

Unlike some lawyers, who simply provide the bare minimum, we will pro actively advise you on the terms and effect of signing the settlement agreement, and more importantly if you are getting a good deal, so you can make well-informed decisions that protect your rights and interests. 

In some cases, settlement agreements are negotiable. If you are not entirely satisfied with the terms, it's essential to engage in constructive negotiations with your employer or their representatives.

As specialist employment lawyers, we can be invaluable during this process, helping you secure more favourable terms where possible.

Often employers put strict time limits to sign a settlement agreements. Therefore, we are on hand to act quickly for you.
