Specialist Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Northampton

Based in Northamptonshire, Northampton is a county town — whether you work for a small local employer or a national business with a base here, we can help. Whether you have been made redundant, managed out, or offered a package to leave quietly, a settlement agreement in Northampton should never be signed without advice. We act for people right across Northamptonshire, checking every clause — payment, notice, references and restrictions — before anything is finalised.

Independent Advice Is a Legal Requirement

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.

Before You Sign: What We Look At

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

  • The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.
  • Confidentiality and non-derogatory terms, and whether they are reasonable.
  • Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.
  • The wording of the agreed reference and any announcement to colleagues.

Who Pays for the Advice?

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

Working to Your Deadline

We know these deadlines rarely wait. For clients in Northampton 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.
