Call 0333 358 2212 Now!
Being laid off or facing redundancy is tough, but it doesn’t have to mean walking away with less than you deserve. A settlement agreement is your opportunity to secure a better financial package, a fair reference, and a smooth transition to your next role—but only if you negotiate it properly.
The good news? Your employer covers the cost of legal advice (usually between £350-£500+VAT) on a settlement agreement, so getting expert support won’t cost you a penny. A specialist employment lawyer will ensure that your settlement agreement works for you, as they work for you—not just your employer.

DON'T SIGN AWAY YOUR RIGHTS!
Many assume they have to accept the first offer presented to them, but a settlement agreement is completely negotiable. A lawyer will review every detail and fight for the best possible deal—and since your employer covers the legal fees (up to £750+VAT), there’s no downside to seeking expert advice.
REAL BENEFITS, ZERO COST TO YOU
Your employer wants to finalise the agreement quickly, but that doesn’t mean you should rush. A legal review could mean:
- More money
- Better terms for your departure
- A strong reference to boost your future prospects
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR NEXT STEPS
Don’t settle for the first offer—make sure you’re getting the best deal possible. With expert legal support, you can move on with confidence and a positive reference to help land your next role.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I have to take the settlement agreement offered?
No, you most certainly do not.
The agreement has to be right for you and for your employer. You have time to negotiate. You may want an agreed reference. You may want a higher payment. You may want the health cover to continue while you finish treatment. All of these and more are options.
What is the difference between a compromise agreement and a settlement agreement?
The more up to date term is settlement agreement, but you may know of the term compromise agreement.
Both are defining the terms on which you leave a company.
Both are paid for by the company.
So don't get hung up on the name. Whether your employer calls it a compromise or a settlement agreement, we can help guide you through the process.
If I call you, am I committed to working with you?
Of course not!
Give us a no obligation call. We promise there will be no heavy sell. We know that you are going through a very stressful time. We are here to take away some of that stress, not to add to it.
What is the process if I do work with you?
Once you have decided to work with us, you send us the settlement agreement that you have received from your employer.
We read that through.
Then we have a conversation. What is that you want from the agreement. We will tell you what we think is possible and what is not. We may come up with things that you haven't thought of.
We then go back to your employer and negotiate on your behalf.
Once both sides are happy, you sign, the employer signs and we sign the settlement agreement.
Are you sure it will cost me nothing?
Yes, we are.
If you are given a settlement agreement, then the employer has to recommend that you get a legal representative to look at the agreement from your point of view.
The employer covers the costs of that. Some employers will say that there is £300+VAT, others up to £750+VAT or even more. It all depends on the employer and the level of the job.
Whatever that figure is, that is our payment. You do not pay anything.
