Employment Settlement Agreements

Settlement Agreement solicitors

At Hart Brown, our experienced team of employment solicitors have a long history of providing specialist advice on settlement agreements. We are able to provide counsel to employees in any role, from entry-level to senior executive and company director, across a wide range of business sectors.

Settlement agreements are frequently used in redundancy situations but can also be used to resolve an employment dispute.

We understand that losing your job can be a very stressful time. Our solicitors provide clear, practical and cost-effective advice on the terms of the proposed settlement agreement, including the implications on your ability to pursue any potential claim you may have against your employer.

Whether you are considering a settlement offer, renegotiating terms or seeking to understand the implications of a proposed agreement, our solicitors are committed to offering you the knowledge needed to make an informed decision. We take care of the details so you don’t need to worry.

We will also be able to advise on whether the offer represents a reasonable settlement taking into account the various claims you may have. Our lawyers are skilled negotiators with a proven track record of successfully negotiating more favourable terms and better financial packages than originally proposed by employers.

To find out more about settlement agreements, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Our employment solicitors will be more than happy to assist you. Please call 01483 887766, email us or start a live chat.

What do Louisa's clients say?

"I will be eternally grateful for you getting this over the line, fighting my corner and getting the incredible result you did. It was an immense relief to be able to let go and trust the process, safe in the knowledge that you had my back in this matter and at last to feel supported. But more than all the knowledge and skill involved, I recognise and am so appreciative of the fact that the outcome may well not have been the same had you not been quite so understanding and respectful of the complexities involved - personally, emotionally and professionally..."

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for today. You truly made me feel very welcome and explained everything so clearly."
