Tewkesbury Settlement Agreements
We advise employees in Tewkesbury who have been offered a settlement agreement following redundancy, a workplace dispute, performance concerns or an agreed exit from employment.
Before you sign, we can review the settlement agreement in full, check the payments, explain the claims you are giving up and identify any terms that may need changing.
Settlement agreements are used in a range of employment situations. They may be proposed at an early stage of discussions or after a formal workplace process has already begun.
The compensation figure is only one part of the agreement. We also check the payments and obligations that sit around it, including:
Employers often provide a date by which they want the agreement considered and returned. For straightforward agreements, we aim to complete the initial review within 24 hours of receiving the complete document, subject to solicitor availability and the complexity of the terms.
For a standard, straightforward settlement agreement review, our fixed fee is usually £350–£500 plus VAT, depending on the agreement. In most cases, your employer will include a legal fee contribution within the settlement agreement that covers this cost.
This means there is usually nothing for you to pay personally for a standard review and sign-off.
If your employer's contribution does not cover the full fee, or if further negotiation or additional work is required, we will tell you before any additional cost is incurred. Where appropriate, we will first ask your employer to increase their contribution.
Yes. A settlement agreement is a proposed contract and its terms can be discussed before it is signed. A higher payment is not the only point that may justify amendment. Reference wording, confidentiality provisions, restrictive covenants, the termination date and treatment of benefits may also require attention.
If changes are appropriate, we can identify the points to raise and, if instructed, advise on negotiating the settlement agreement directly with your employer or their solicitor.
