Settlement Agreements for Employers & Employees
Settlement agreements are legally binding contracts that help resolve employment disputes or manage employee exits. They can provide a financial settlement, achieve a clean break, or support corporate restructuring.
We advise both employers and employees, ensuring agreements are fair, compliant, and aligned with objectives. For employers, we focus on protecting business interests and minimising risk; for employees, we clarify rights and assist with negotiations.
