Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Hammersmith

Settlement Agreements in Hammersmith, West London

Hammersmith is part of the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, in west London. Being handed a settlement agreement can feel overwhelming, particularly when the deadline is short. If you work in Hammersmith or the surrounding West London area, our specialist employment solicitors will explain exactly what the agreement means, whether the terms are fair, and what could be improved before you sign.

Independent Advice Is a Legal Requirement

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 Hammersmith, we look closely at:

• The wording of the agreed reference and any announcement to colleagues.
• Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.
• The size and structure of the termination payment, and whether any of it can be paid tax-free.
• Your notice pay, holiday pay and any outstanding bonus or commission.

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.

Fast Turnaround

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.
