Specialist Advice on Settlement Agreements
Settlement agreements are legally binding contracts used to resolve employment disputes or manage employee exits. Usually, they will involve an employee waiving their right to pursue employment claims in return for a financial settlement, but they can also be utilised to achieve a clean break in employment, or as part of corporate restructuring.
We act for both employers and employees, offering clear, pragmatic advice to ensure the terms of the agreement are fair, compliant, and aligned with your objectives.
Guidance on Settlement Agreements for Employers
For employers, we provide commercial and strategic guidance on drafting and negotiating agreements that focus on protecting business interests, maintaining confidentiality, and minimising the risk of future claims. Settlement agreements will often supersede all other historic agreements between the involved parties and so it is imperative they are drafted carefully taking the case specific facts into consideration.
