Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Woking

Settlement Agreement Advice in Woking

Woking, a commuter town and home to the McLaren Technology Centre, is in Surrey, but the law around settlement agreements is the same wherever you're based. If your employer in Woking 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 Woking and across Surrey, translating the legal jargon into plain English and making sure nothing in the document works against you.

Why the Law Requires a Solicitor

A settlement agreement is only legally binding once you have received advice from an independent adviser, such as a qualified solicitor, on its terms and their effect on your ability to bring a claim. That safeguard exists to protect you — and it is why employers almost always contribute towards your legal fees.

What We Check in Your Agreement

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

• The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.
• Your notice pay, holiday pay and any outstanding bonus or commission.
• Whether any statutory or contractual claims are being unfairly signed away.
• The wording of the agreed reference and any announcement to colleagues.

The Cost to You

In the vast majority of cases, your employer pays. It is standard practice for the employer to contribute towards your legal costs as part of the deal, and in most straightforward matters that contribution covers our fee in full — so there is nothing for you to pay.

Fast Turnaround

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.
