Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Stockport & Manchester

You may be offered a Settlement Agreement by your employer and need to take legal advice at that point. Alternatively, you may wish to exit your job and need tactical advice to prompt your employer to offer you compensation under a Settlement Agreement.

Gorvins’ employment solicitors are experts in negotiating and advising on Settlement Agreements, ensuring that you receive the right amount of compensation.

What is a settlement agreement?

A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract that prevents an employee from pursuing any claims against their employer, usually in return for a sum of money.

Employers usually insist on certain formalities when reaching a settlement. This usually means the employee will have to seek independent legal advice from a solicitor to ensure they understand the terms. A properly drafted and negotiated settlement agreement can be a very effective way to ensure that you are adequately compensated for the termination of your employment, without the need to bring an Employment Tribunal claim against your employer.

How can Gorvins help?

We will give tactical advice to negotiate the best compensation package for you. We will also advise and negotiate the terms of any Settlement Agreement, which may include negotiating terms such as the tax indemnity, restrictive covenants, the contribution to your legal fees and payment terms.
