Basingstoke is a major commercial and insurance hub, in north Hampshire. For employees and employers in Basingstoke, a settlement agreement is a legally binding contract that ends employment on agreed terms, usually in exchange for a payment. Our team advises clients throughout Basingstoke and the wider Hampshire region, making sure you understand your rights and secure the strongest possible outcome.
Because you are giving up the right to bring most employment claims, the agreement is not enforceable until an independent solicitor has advised you on what you are signing away. This requirement is in your favour: it means you get proper advice, usually at your employer's expense.
When we review a settlement agreement for a client in Basingstoke, we look closely at:
Almost always, yes. Employers routinely include a contribution towards the employee's legal fees, precisely because independent advice is a legal requirement. In the majority of cases in Basingstoke that contribution meets our costs entirely, and we will tell you up front if it does not.
Settlement agreements often arrive with a tight deadline. In most cases we can review yours and give you clear advice within 24 hours, and same-day appointments are usually available. Call us on 020 3058 3365.
For employers throughout Hampshire, we draft and negotiate settlement agreements, advise on fair process, and represent businesses in tribunal proceedings — helping you resolve employment issues quickly and cleanly.
We also advise clients across the neighbouring areas of London, Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Reading, Maidenhead, Woking, Slough, Oxford and Windsor.
