Settlement Agreement Advice in Folkestone

Folkestone, a Channel port town, is in Kent, but the law around settlement agreements is the same wherever you're based. If your employer in Folkestone has offered you a settlement agreement, the law requires you to take independent legal advice before it becomes binding. We advise employees and employers throughout Folkestone and across Kent, translating the legal jargon into plain English and making sure nothing in the document works against you.

Why You Need Independent Legal Advice

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.

What Our Review Covers

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

  • The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.
  • Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.
  • Whether any statutory or contractual claims are being unfairly signed away.
  • Your notice pay, holiday pay and any outstanding bonus or commission.

Will My Employer Pay My Legal Fees?

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.

Fast Turnaround

We know these deadlines rarely wait. For clients in Folkestone we can normally turn around a full review and advice within a day, and we keep same-day slots open for urgent cases. Call us on 020 3058 3365.
