Settlement Agreement Advice in Brighton

Based in East Sussex, Brighton is a seaside city on the South Coast — whether you work for a small local employer or a national business with a base here, we can help. Settlement agreements are used across East Sussex to bring an employment relationship to a close on agreed terms — often around redundancy, a workplace dispute, or a performance issue. Wherever you are in Brighton, we review the agreement, assess the financial package, and advise you honestly on whether to sign, negotiate, or push back.

Why You Need Independent Legal Advice

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.

Before You Sign: What We Look At

When we review a settlement agreement for a client in Brighton, we look closely at:

  • Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.
  • The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.
  • Confidentiality and non-derogatory terms, and whether they are reasonable.
  • Whether any statutory or contractual claims are being unfairly signed away.

The Cost to You

For most people the advice costs them nothing. The settlement agreement itself will usually set out a contribution from your employer towards your legal fees, and that figure typically covers our work in full. Where a matter is more complex, we agree any difference with you before we start.

Working to Your Deadline

Time pressure is common with settlement agreements. Our solicitors can usually review the document, advise you and complete the certificate within 24 to 48 hours — faster where the deadline demands it. Call us on 020 3058 3365.
