Specialist employment solicitors advising on settlement agreements throughout Middlesbrough and Teesside. Free initial assessment — call 020 3058 3365.
Middlesbrough is an industrial town on the River Tees, in Teesside. If your employer in Middlesbrough 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 Middlesbrough and across Teesside, translating the legal jargon into plain English and making sure nothing in the document works against you.
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.
When we review a settlement agreement for a client in Middlesbrough, 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 Middlesbrough that contribution meets our costs entirely, and we will tell you up front if it does not.
We know these deadlines rarely wait. For clients in Middlesbrough 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.
For employers throughout Teesside, we draft and negotiate settlement agreements, advise on fair process, and represent businesses in tribunal proceedings — helping you resolve employment issues quickly and cleanly.
We also advise clients across the neighbouring areas of Sunderland, Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne.
