Settlement Agreement Legal Advice
With established offices across the UK, we have given expert settlement agreement advice to many clients.
What is a Settlement Agreement Definition?
Settlement agreements are typically received by an employee once their employment has been terminated by their employer. It is a legally binding document or agreement.
An employer gives severance pay to an employee in exchange for them not raising or taking a claim. It usually provides for a severance payment made to the employee from the employer. This is on the agreement that the employee does not pursue or raise any future claim in an Employment Tribunal.
At DPH Legal, we offer settlement agreement legal advice. Such advise from our qualified employment lawyers will ensure your settlement agreement is legally binding.
How much will settlement agreement advice cost?
Typically the advice will not cost the employee anything. The employer will cover the costs for the initial legal advice. DPH Legal will always notify a client upfront if any additional fees apply.
How long does the settlement agreement legal advice process take?
We endeavour to provide our clients with settlement agreement legal advice the same day we receive it. An experienced senior employment solicitor will handle the call from the get-go through to completion.
In the past, we have given expert advice over the phone and in face-to-face meetings, but for the foreseeable future due to the current Covid-19 restrictions, advice over the phone is the preferred option.
Our team of senior, qualified solicitors can process a simple settlement agreement, or compromise agreement, quickly. On some occasions, clients wish us to negotiate compensation and terms on their behalf. In those situations, we have been very successful at achieving significant pay-out increases.
