We aid employers and employees to resolve their employment law problems
When an employee is first presented with a settlement agreement, the first question that is often asked is what is a settlement agreement?
Up until the 29th July 2013, Settlement Agreements were formerly known as ‘Compromise Agreements’.
A Settlement Agreement is an agreement between an employer and an employee which both parties enter into voluntarily in order to resolve a dispute between them and/or end the employment contract on agreed terms. Once signed by both parties, then at that stage the agreement becomes contractually legally binding. Most Settlement Agreements typically result in the employee receiving a lump sum payment in return for giving up their job and agreeing not to pursue Employment Tribunal or Court action.
We can normally see you the same day that you contact us. Completion time depends upon how complex the dispute is, and a willingness by both sides to resolve matters. Nevertheless, as settlement agreement solicitors, we are normally able to broker a resolution and complete the overwhelming majority of settlement agreements very quickly.
We are experienced specialist solicitors in all aspects of settlement agreements.
