When you and your employer resolve to part ways, you may be offered a settlement. It is important that the terms of this offer are considered with an expert who can advise you on what you are entitled to and should expect.
Meet the Litigation legal team
Broadly, a Settlement Agreement is a legal document between you and your employer that sets out the terms of the end of your employment. As part of the agreement, your employer will most likely offer to pay for you to obtain independent legal advice, this is to ensure that you understand the contents of the agreement prior to signing it.
In reality, it is important to instruct a lawyer who will not only explain the agreement to you, but will also ask you about the history of your employment and identify whether you may have any claims against your employer. Our expert team will discuss this with you in a pragmatic fashion, comparing any potential award that you could recieve at an Employment Tribunal against what is offered in the settlement agreement, ensuring you have all of the information before moving forward.
Some employers also offer funded legal advice in the case of a Voluntary Redundancy Agreement.

2 months agoMichelle and team at Shentons were brilliant at handling our property purchase. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them. The quality of work and service was excellent, Michelle is on the ball and responsive to emails, she pushed the other side and made sure we were comfortable and informed at every step. Despite being thrown some curve balls Michelle remained calm, and dealt with all of them in an efficient but thorough manner. From quote to completion everything her and her team did was excellent, and in line with the estimate given which for first time buyers allowed us to budget without fear of massive final bill. It’s nice to know what you are getting into. And finally to top it off they are all lovely approachable people that I wouldn’t hesitate to trust with such a big purchase or sale going forward. If you want the job done properly I wouldn’t use any other firm.Posted on Google

10 months agoMy whole experience of Rachel and Chloe representing me, guiding myself through a very stressful court process was second to none. They are highly professional, highly experienced in their field and gave solid, clear advice. I can't recommend them and Shenton's enough. Thank you. - PPosted on Google
