Settlement Agreement Advice

Pearcelegal provides independent legal advice on settlement agreements as required in order to conclude the terms of any agreed settlement with your employer.

Settlement agreements, previously known as compromise agreements, are an increasingly common way for employees to leave an employer whereby statutory rights are waived for a final settlement.

The advantage for the employer is that they are able to draw a line under an employee's departure or complaint and are protected from future claims. The advantage for the employee is the consideration, such as a financial sum, received as part of a legally binding contract. In addition to confidentiality clauses, a Settlement Agreement may also include an agreed reference.

We will try to provide our advice within the fixed costs offered within the Settlement Agreement so that there is no further charge to you. We also understand that obtaining the advice can sometimes be needed quickly. We are usually able to take instructions and provide the necessary advice within 48 hours and sometimes quicker.
