Settlement Agreements

If you have recently been involved in a dispute with your employer, or your role is at risk of redundancy or being made redundant then you may be invited to an ‘off the record’ discussion at which your employer raises the issue of a settlement agreement, previously known as a compromise agreement.

You might be asked to make an appointment with and receive advice from a settlement agreement solicitor in exchange for an additional payment or other benefit. Thomas Mansfield solicitors are a leading firm with a large team of specialist employment lawyers providing advice on settlement agreements to a wide range of professionals in London and the South East. See below for all our locations.

Our specialist employment lawyers can also represent you in negotiations with your employer about the terms of the settlement agreement, including the financial compensation, ensuring that you defend your rights through what can be a highly complex process. We can also advise you on the specific terms of the settlement agreement (or compromise agreement), ensuring that you understand the limits that it will be likely to impose on any future employment tribunal claims you might make.

We think our reputation as one of London’s leading firms of employment solicitors speaks for itself but please review our client feedback to see for yourself our excellent track record of negotiating successful outcomes for our employee clients who have been offered a settlement agreement.

Settlement agreement facts:

Employers usually provide a contribution to legal fees. In most cases, the employers’ contribution to legal fees would normally cover all our fees, which would mean that you do not have to pay anything. However, we can also negotiate our fees with your employer. We raise an invoice in your name but mark it payable by your employer as part of the settlement and would send this directly to the employer.

  • Working with us – While we are delighted to meet up with you in person, we understand that this can be difficult. So, if you prefer, we can arrange a telephone conference with you at a convenient time. Alternatively you can come to one of our meeting locations in London and the South East.
  • Documents we will need to see – We need copies of the draft settlement agreement, your employment contract if you have one and any related documents.
