Kent
Independent settlement agreement advice for employees and employers in Canterbury and across Kent. Free same-day assessment — call 020 3058 3365.
Canterbury, a cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, is in Kent, but the law around settlement agreements is the same wherever you're based. Whether you have been made redundant, managed out, or offered a package to leave quietly, a settlement agreement in Canterbury should never be signed without advice. We act for people right across Kent, checking every clause — payment, notice, references and restrictions — before anything is finalised.
The law deliberately makes independent advice a condition of a valid settlement agreement. Once we have advised you and signed the certificate confirming it, the agreement becomes binding — but only after you fully understand the deal and are satisfied it is right for you.
When we review a settlement agreement for a client in Canterbury, 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 Canterbury 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.
Businesses in Canterbury instruct us to prepare watertight settlement agreements, handle sensitive exits and redundancies, and resolve disputes before they escalate. Our advice is practical and focused on protecting the organisation.
We also advise clients across the neighbouring areas of London, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone and Folkestone.
