Gloucester Settlement Agreements
We advise employees in Gloucester who have been given a settlement agreement by their employer. This may follow a redundancy process, workplace dispute, grievance, disciplinary or performance issue, or a proposed agreed departure.
Before you sign, we can review the agreement in full, check the financial terms and explain the legal effect of the provisions included in the document. If anything should be amended, we can also advise on negotiating a settlement agreement .
A settlement agreement can deal with much more than the headline compensation figure. We review the complete document, including:
Settlement agreements are often time-sensitive. We aim to review straightforward agreements within 24 hours of receiving the complete documents, subject to solicitor availability and the complexity of the agreement.
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 pays for or contributes towards this cost through the legal fee provision in the settlement agreement.
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 extra cost is incurred. Where appropriate, we will first ask your employer to increase their contribution.
You do not have to accept every term exactly as drafted. If the payments appear incorrect, the reference needs amending, a restriction may affect your next role or another provision requires attention, we can advise on the amendments that should be considered.
If instructed, we can contact your employer or their solicitor to propose amendments or negotiate revised terms on your behalf.
We advise employees throughout Gloucester, including the city centre, Longlevens, Kingsholm, Barnwood, Hucclecote, Abbeydale, Quedgeley and surrounding areas. Appointments can be arranged by telephone, video or in person by arrangement.
