Need Urgent Advice on a Settlement Agreement? We Can Help Today.

At Morgan Wiseman Solicitors, our specialist employment solicitors provide fast, clear and strategic advice to ensure you fully understand your rights and receive the best possible terms.

✔ Same-day appointments
✔ Remote or in-person consultations
✔ Employer usually pays your legal fees
✔ Fixed fees for employees
✔ Expert negotiators to maximise your settlement

 

What is a Settlement Agreement?

A Settlement Agreement is a legally binding contract used to end an employment relationship or resolve workplace disputes. In most cases, the employer contributes to or fully covers your legal costs.
You should never sign without proper legal advice – doing so may prevent you from bringing future claims.

Typical scenarios include:

  • Redundancy or restructure
  • Workplace disputes
  • Performance or disciplinary issues
  • Grievances or breakdown in working relationships
  • Mutual exits

We advise employees and employers on the full process.
