Settlement Agreements

The lawyers at Astons Solicitors are on-hand to help you through the sometimes overwhelming experience of settlement agreements, and will use their extensive experience to ensure that you never feel alone when dealing with an employment settlement. If you are in Northampton, London or anywhere else in the UK, we can help.

What is a settlement agreement?

A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract between an employee and an employer that sets out clear stipulations for things like termination payments, redundancy, and other sums. Formerly known as a Compromise Agreement, a settlement agreement is typically offered on the agreement that an employee will not pursue a matter in a tribunal or court. Settlement agreements tend to be used by employers who want to avoid drawn-out disputes, and can only be recognised in law if a lawyer/solicitor or certified trained union advisor signs off on the agreement. Specialist employment solicitors in these cases will advise employees on the merits of any claim, as well as identifying any discrimination or injustice.

When might a settlement agreement be offered?

While settlement agreements are most commonly offered as a result of termination-related issues, other instances when an employer may offer a settlement agreement also include:

  • Raised grievances
  • Employment disputes
  • Redundancy
  • Discrimination cases

 

What are the benefits of a settlement agreement?

A settlement agreement that’s overseen by experienced solicitors offers a range of benefits, including certainty, satisfactory agreements, and a clean break from difficult employment. The security offered by settlement agreements can especially help to ensure ample reimbursement and a clear path forward for employees who could otherwise spend extended periods in court.

Why choose Astons Solicitors?

Our experienced settlement agreement lawyer team prides itself on providing jargon-free advice across the UK from London to Northampton and beyond. Wherever you are in the settlement process, Astons Solicitors can provide the help you need thanks to a range of service benefits that include:

Cost-covered advice

We offer a cost guarantee that we will never charge you more than the legal cost contribution from your employer for reviewing and advising you on matters regarding a settlement agreement. This means that even the oversight of our extensive experience shouldn’t cost you anything depending on your settlement agreement terms. As such, we provide typically cost-covered, expert advice that can further help you to secure the best deal possible as a result of your settlement agreement overall.

Extensive experience in settlement agreements

As a specialist employment firm, we consist of a highly experienced team of settlement agreement lawyers and solicitors, each of whom has a detailed knowledge of employment law. With 30+ years of experience in dealing with agreements like these, we will especially work alongside you to advise on whether an agreement provides you with a ‘good deal’, and any possible steps you can take if that isn’t the case. For first-hand proof of these benefits, simply view our fantastic Google reviews.

Your legal responsibility

Settlement agreements are only valid if they are overseen and signed off by an independent legal advisor as set out by UK law. This is why most employers will cover the costs of an employee’s independent legal counsel, and it’s another reason why you could benefit from having our settlement agreement lawyers on your side. Not only will we advocate for you
throughout the process, but we’ll also ensure that a contract is legally binding and always valid to protect your rights.

Same-day advice

Settlement agreements can quickly become stressful, and seeking legal counsel early on in this process is crucial for securing the best possible agreement. We understand that at Astons Solicitors, which is why we guarantee same-day advice via either a face-to-face appointment or a phone call during which we’ll discuss the basics of your case and advise you on what exactly we can do to help.

Securing the best deal

Our settlement agreement lawyers have an extensive proven track record in improving the terms our clients receive, and we’ll start advocating to make that happen from the moment you get in touch. Whether you’re in London, Northampton or elsewhere in the UK, Astons Solicitors has the expertise to help you navigate settlement agreements with the best outcomes. Simply contact us online or call us on 01604 700099 for a same-day
appointment.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Bob Cox, Production Manager – Astraseal

"The service we receive from Astons Solicitors is always to a high standard. They are professional, knowledgeable and efficient at all times. I confidently rely on their expertise and advice and would have no hesitation in recommending them to other businesses in need of employment law advice."

Dr Ian Murphy, Felsted, Essex

“Astons Solicitors provided extremely valuable guidance in the interpretation and execution of a bespoke tailored Compromise Agreement (a veritable minefield for the uninitiated). Throughout, I found the service offered by the firm to be prompt, courteous and focused, commendable attributes which, to my mind, are in very short supply in this day and age. Of particular reassurance was the measured advice I received which enabled me to make decisions with enhanced clarity and rapidity.”

Daniel Sanders, London

“The service I received from Astons Solicitors was prompt, efficient and detailed. They certainly know what they are doing in the field of Employment Law and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone in need of Employment Law advice.”

Andrew Ellinas, Director – Sandfords

"Every time I have been asked for an employment lawyer recommendation, I have without hesitation given Astons' contact details. Robin and Edward 'held my hand' during the immediate aftermath of the credit crunch when we had to make redundancies. They very carefully guided me to ensure that we did everything in accordance with employment law and prevented us from making some very expensive mistakes. Since then, they have completely re-written our employment contracts and drafted our Employee and Management Handbooks. In essence Astons have become our HR department."

Les Whitfield, Partner – Head Entertainment LLP

“Astons represented Head Entertainment following the acquisition of certain assets from the Administrators of Zavvi. Astons advised us on all employment issues relating to TUPE. Robin kept us up to date and advised us at each step of the way. I have no hesitation in recommending Astons”

Justin Johnson, Head of HR Operations and People Services – Elior UK

"I have worked with Astons Solicitors for many years. In fact, they have often been seen as an integral part of my team's Human Resources function! I have been delighted with the personal yet professional service we have received from their Offices and Partners, which has been demonstrated by the fact I continue to use them as I move on to different organisations."

Paul Round, Managing Director – DP Group of Companies

“We have employed the services of Astons Solicitors for several years and we have found their expertise, advice and professionalism to be second to none. Additionally we have found great value in the Employment Protection Scheme they offer. I would have no hesitation in recommending Aston Solicitors’ services to anyone who requires employment law advice.”

Michael Hinchcliffe, HR Management Consultant

"Astons were able to provide expert legal knowledge coupled with practical HR Management advice to enable us to find solutions to our problems. As a middle manager it was great to find solicitors that knew HR, not just the law and were happy to explain it and the implications. As I moved organisations I made sure I kept contact with Astons and used them on numerous occasions, all to good effect. Now as a freelance HR Management Consultant I am able to approach Astons not only about Employment Law but I am comfortable seeking guidance on more general HR issues, knowing I will get sound practical advice."

Joan Harper, Northampton

“The employment law advice and service I received from Astons Solicitors was always prompt and professional. Although I initially worked with Astons to prepare my case, because I was funded by my insurers I was forced to use their panel solicitors to issue proceedings. Once this had taken place it was an easy and quick process to return to Astons and still remain covered by my insurer. I am certain that the personal contact, support and interest I received from Astons Solicitors were fundamental to the eventual success of my case. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of an Employment Law Solicitor’s representation.”

Janet Gray, Human Resources & IT Director – Jupiter Hotels

"We have been delighted with the specialist employment law service provided by Astons Solicitors in the last 15 years. As well as providing prompt, expert and practical advice on a full range of employment law issues they have exclusively represented us at Employment Tribunals where their professionalism, thoroughness and attention to detail has resulted in outstanding success. A quality service at highly competitive rates.”
