For Employers: Practical Solutions for Your Workforce
We work with businesses of all sizes, offering clear and commercially focused advice to reduce risk, manage staff effectively, and handle disputes swiftly.

Settlement Agreements
Settlement agreements are legally binding contracts which terminate the employment relationship and involve the employee agreeing not to pursue specified claims in return for monetary compensation. They offer employees and employers the opportunity to resolve disputes efficiently.
If you are an employee looking for a settlement agreement solicitor to help you understand the terms and effect of an offer from your employer, we offer rapid appointments and can facilitate video meetings and electronic signatures. In most cases, we can complete the work for the fixed fee contribution offered by your employer.
If you are a business looking to bring an employment relationship to an end, avoid a potential claim, or protect your commercial interests, we offer strategic advice on the negotiation and drafting of settlement agreements that are legally sound and commercially appropriate.
