Evesham Settlement Agreements
If your employer has given you a settlement agreement, the document should be reviewed before you sign it. We advise employees in Evesham on the financial terms, the wording of the agreement and the claims that will be settled once it becomes binding.
We look at what you are being paid, what is already owed to you and any terms that may continue to affect you after your employment ends. This includes reference wording, confidentiality provisions, restrictions on future work and the practical arrangements for your departure.
A settlement agreement usually contains several different types of payment and a number of legal obligations. We review both the figures and the wording around them.
By signing a settlement agreement, you will normally agree not to bring specified employment claims against your employer. We explain which claims are covered by the agreement and what that means for you before the document is signed.
We also check that the wording does not go further than necessary and that the agreement accurately reflects the circumstances of your departure.
Settlement agreements are often issued with a deadline for response. For straightforward agreements, we aim to complete the initial review within 24 hours of receiving the complete documents, subject to solicitor availability and the complexity of the matter.
Most employers include a contribution towards the cost of the independent legal advice needed for a settlement agreement. Our standard fees are typically £350–£700 plus VAT, depending on the agreement and the work required.
For a straightforward review and sign-off, the employer's contribution will usually cover our fee, so there is normally nothing for you to pay personally.
If more extensive negotiation is needed, we will discuss this with you first and, where appropriate, ask your employer to increase their legal fee contribution.
Yes. If the payment is too low, an amount has been omitted, the reference is unsuitable or another term is unfair or impractical, changes can be proposed before you sign.
We can advise which points are worth raising and, if instructed, negotiate directly with your employer or their solicitor.
