Settlement Agreement Solicitors in London

Settlement Agreements in London, Central London

Settlement agreements are used across Central London to bring an employment relationship to a close on agreed terms — often around redundancy, a workplace dispute, or a performance issue. We advise employees and employers based anywhere from Westminster and the City to Camden, Islington, Southwark, Hackney and Tower Hamlets, and throughout Greater London beyond. Wherever you are in the capital, we review the agreement, assess the financial package, and advise you honestly on whether to sign, negotiate, or push back.

Why the Law Requires a Solicitor

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.

Before You Sign: What We Look At

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

• Your notice pay, holiday pay and any outstanding bonus or commission.
• The size and structure of the termination payment, and whether any of it can be paid tax-free.
• The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.
• Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.

Will My Employer Pay My Legal Fees?

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 London that contribution meets our costs entirely, and we will tell you up front if it does not.

Working to Your Deadline

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.
