Settlement Agreements in Waltham Forest, East London

Waltham Forest is an outer borough, in north-east London. If your employer in Waltham Forest 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 Waltham Forest and across East London, translating the legal jargon into plain English and making sure nothing in the document works against you.

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.

What We Check in Your Agreement

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

  • The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.
  • Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.
  • Whether any statutory or contractual claims are being unfairly signed away.
  • The size and structure of the termination payment, and whether any of it can be paid tax-free.

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.
