Settlement Agreements in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

Peterborough is a cathedral city, in Cambridgeshire. If your employer in Peterborough 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 Peterborough and across Cambridgeshire, translating the legal jargon into plain English and making sure nothing in the document works against you.

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.

What We Check in Your Agreement

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

  • Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.
  • The size and structure of the termination payment, and whether any of it can be paid tax-free.
  • The wording of the agreed reference and any announcement to colleagues.
  • Confidentiality and non-derogatory terms, and whether they are reasonable.

The Cost to You

For most people the advice costs them nothing. The settlement agreement itself will usually set out a contribution from your employer towards your legal fees, and that figure typically covers our work in full. Where a matter is more complex, we agree any difference with you before we start.

How Quickly Can You Help?

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.
