Employee Settlement Agreements

Legal Advice You Can Trust

If you’ve been offered a settlement agreement by your employer, understanding your rights is essential. At Rich & Carr Solicitors, our expert employment law solicitors provide clear, confidential advice to employees. Whether you’re being made redundant or offered a financial settlement, we’ll help you navigate the terms and secure the best possible outcome.

Understand Your Settlement Agreement Before You Sign

A settlement agreement is legally binding—and once signed, you waive your right to bring claims before a Court or Tribunal except in very limited circumstances. That’s why legal advice is not just recommended—it’s a legal requirement. Rich & Carr Solicitors offer:

  • Review of financial compensation and outstanding entitlements
  • Advice on notice periods and tax implications
  • Insight into restrictive covenants and confidentiality clauses

We ensure you understand every aspect before signing, so your interests are protected.

Fast, Friendly & Professional Service

Whether you’re under pressure to agree quickly or simply unsure about what’s fair, our solicitors are here to support you. We offer quick-turnaround consultations—often within 24 hours. From initial review to negotiation, we’re on your side.

Rich & Carr Solicitors have extensive experience in this area and have built a reputation that is second to none in the field of employment law.

As one of the firm’s specialist areas we have a track record that covers most types of company dispute ranging from unfair dismissal claims to harassment, discrimination and breach of contract cases.

Our advice is based on experience built up over many years of success with our lawyers representing both employers and employees. Although this gives us an invaluable, rounded view of the process, we find that most of our clients are employers, many of whom also use our solicitors in other business related areas.

Given the sensitivity of employment tribunal cases and their potential capacity for inflicting severe public relations damage on companies, we believe it is essential that clients take the most informed advice available at the earliest opportunity.
