Employee Settlement Agreement

Our Settlement Agreement review service is designed to give you a snapshot of the legal concerns relevant to your issue or transaction. We are here to give you confidence to either proceed or to ask the right questions to ensure that your position is protected.

Our Solicitors carry out detailed reviews and provide commentary in lay terminology in annotations within the document, via e-mail or via screen recording video software.

Once happy, the Advisor’s Certificate accompanying the Settlement Agreement will be signed-off by your Solicitor.

You can choose what to do with this advice: either you can ask us to amend the document, ask us for further advice in regard to negotiation strategy or you can use our comments to bolster your negotiation position with the other side. Either way, our snapshot will give you the valuable insights you need to move forward.

Our review service is designed to identify issues and concerns within the document or contract. 

In the event of amendments being required, once the review is provided to you, we would then provide you with a quotation to attend to the amendments on your behalf. Whether you proceed with such amendments is obviously at your discretion.

Once you contract has been reviewed, it may be necessary to negotiate amendments with the other party/ies to the contract. This might take the form of amendments being effected to the contract itself by our attorneys, email correspondence being sent by us to the other party/ies with our proposed amendments, or a call / online meeting with the other Party/ies to discuss & negotiate.

Once reviewed, and if necessary, we will provide you with a quote to attend to the negotiations.

Our review and sign-off takes between 1 to 2 working days, unless you order the same day delivery option. The same day delivery option needs to be ordered before 1PM UK time in order for it to be delivered on the same day, otherwise it will be delivered the following day.

If your contract has already been signed, and you are looking to get guidance on a specific situation that has arisen, we recommend that you submit a custom quote request. 

If you order a consultation as an added option, then yes, otherwise no, as a consultation is not included in the review package.  A consultation can however also be purchased separately here.
