Why Choose Us to Check

Situations We Help With

We can help evaluate your settlement agreement whether you’re facing:

Redundancy

Restructuring

Performance or capability issues

Long-term sickness

Disciplinary issues

Discrimination concerns

Exit by agreement

Everything in-between

No matter the reason for your exit, our questions remain the same: Are you protected? Are the terms fair? With experienced settlement agreement lawyers, you can get to the bottom of it.

Fast and Simple Process

STEP 1: SEND YOUR DOCUMENTS

Simply email your settlement agreement to: info@solidaire.co.uk. If possible, a short summary of what happened will be helpful too.

STEP 2: CONSULTATION

Where possible, you’ll get to speak to us the same day you made contact. Sessions typically last 45-60 minutes, whereby we’ll go through the settlement agreement, raise potential red flags, and map out your options. It’s the only way to ensure you know what you’re agreeing to before signing.

STEP 3: AMENDMENTS, SIGNING & BILLING

If you’re uncomfortable with any terms and would rather adjust them, we’ll handle all that with your employer. Once everyone agrees on the updated settlement agreement, we’ll send over the final version for counter-signature. From there, our settlement agreement solicitors can invoice your employer directly in line with the contribution in your agreement. You won’t have to fork out a penny.

What Our Settlement Agreement Solicitors Check For You

Whether the payment is fair and tax efficient, and how much can be tax-free
Which rights you are being asked to waive and whether that is reasonable
If post-termination restrictions try to limit your future work
Confidentiality and non-disparagement wording that could trip you up later
Return of property, references, and how future statements are handled
Deadlines and small print that might push you into a bad decision
Scope to improve the deal, and the best way to negotiate a fair settlement agreement

Let’s face it; it’s easy to miss one line that could cost you later. That is why our settlement agreement lawyers treat this like a safety check before you sign.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a settlement agreement?

A: It’s a legally binding agreement between you and your employer that sets out the terms of your exit. It usually includes compensation, confidentiality clauses, and a waiver of claims. See ACAS’s guidance on settlement agreements for authoritative background and templates.https://www.acas.org.uk/settlement-agreements

Q: Are settlement payments tax-free?

A: The first £30,000 of compensation for loss of employment is usually tax-free. We’ll explain how the rest of your payout is treated. For more information about the tax element of the settlement agreement, please see HMRC guidance on termination payments https://www.gov.uk/termination-payments-and-tax-when-you-leave-a-job/what-you-pay-tax-and-national-insurance-on

Q: Do I have to accept the settlement agreement?

A: No. If the offer is not fair, we will explain your options and help you push for better terms.

Q: Can I negotiate the payout?

A: Often, yes. It depends on your situation and any potential claims. We will be honest about where you stand, what is realistic, and what it will take to get the fair settlement agreement you deserve.

Q: What if my deadline is soon?

A: Our settlement agreement solicitors prioritise urgent matters. Same-day consultations are often available and most cases complete within 24 – 48 hours.

Q: Who pays the legal fee?

A: In most cases your employer pays a contribution that covers our work. If extra work is needed, our settlement agreement solicitors will agree it with you first.

Q: Is this confidential?

A: Yes. All consultations with our settlement agreement lawyers are 100% confidential. We also review confidentiality wording in your agreement to protect you going forward.

  I would highly recommend Solidaire Solicitors. Bodrul was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive throughout a very difficult and stressful time. He explained everything clearly, responded promptly to my questions and made sure I fully understood my options before making any decisions. I always felt that he genuinely had my best interests at heart, and his calm and reassuring approach made the whole process feel much more manageable. I’m extremely grateful for the advice and support I received and wouldn’t hesitate to use Solidaire Solicitors again.
