Settlement Agreements in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire

Milton Keynes is one of England's best-known planned new towns, in Buckinghamshire. Whether you have been made redundant, managed out, or offered a package to leave quietly, a settlement agreement in Milton Keynes should never be signed without advice. We act for people right across Buckinghamshire, checking every clause — payment, notice, references and restrictions — before anything is finalised.

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.

Before You Sign: What We Look At

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

  • Whether any statutory or contractual claims are being unfairly signed away.
  • The wording of the agreed reference and any announcement to colleagues.
  • The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.
  • Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.

The Cost to You

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

Working to Your Deadline

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.
