Settlement Agreements
A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract between you and your employer. Typically offered to end your employment on agreed terms, they often involve compensation in exchange for waiving certain rights.
Whether you have received a formal agreement or believe your employer may be considering one, early legal advice is essential.
We will provide clear, independent guidance on your options, review any proposed terms in detail, and negotiate on your behalf if needed to secure a fair and appropriate outcome.
