A settlement agreement in England is a legally binding deal to end your employment on agreed terms after confidential negotiations, often following a dispute or potential claim. A solicitor helps draft the agreement, check the settlement sum and any statutory payments, and review confidentiality, reference and non-disparagement clauses. They also coordinate with the employer’s solicitor, gather payroll and contractual documents, and ensure the agreement is enforceable and fair under employment law before you sign.

“I got intouch with Richard Nelson's after needing help with a contract regarding mutually agreed redundancy, but due to the contract not containing the correct information by the time I got the correct version I only had two days left before it had to be signed and returned. I rang and was assured that someone would be able to help me, I was give an appointment for the next day and met Jayne Harrison, she was brilliant! She read through the contents with me pointing out several mistakes, she got straight in touch with my employer and got them amended . I have one last part to complete in January. I am so glad that I chose Richard Nelson's as after much stress they dealt with my situation extremely quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing any legal advice. ”

What Settlement Agreements clients highlight
“Great service form start to finish. With the help from Hannah Ross and Sarah Sowden, they managed maternity cover and a very tricky and slow opposition. All whilst being considerate of my incurring costs and an emotional and stressful situation. For me however, it's always the human approach they take and for this, I'd happily always recommend to anyone and everyone. ”
