Specialist Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Hereford

Hereford is a cathedral city and county town, in Herefordshire. For employees and employers in Hereford, 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 Hereford and the wider Herefordshire region, making sure you understand your rights and secure the strongest possible outcome.

Why the Law Requires a Solicitor

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.

What We Check in Your Agreement

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

  • The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.
  • Your notice pay, holiday pay and any outstanding bonus or commission.
  • The wording of the agreed reference and any announcement to colleagues.
  • The size and structure of the termination payment, and whether any of it can be paid tax-free.

Will My Employer Pay My Legal Fees?

In the vast majority of cases, your employer pays. It is standard practice for the employer to contribute towards your legal costs as part of the deal, and in most straightforward matters that contribution covers our fee in full — so there is nothing for you to pay.

Fast Turnaround

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.
