I was delighted to help my client with his Settlement Agreement. I was also very grateful to receive a 5-star review. Please read on to find out more.
My Client’s Story
My client had worked hard for his employer for several years. However, after experiencing a personal issue outside of work, his employer offered him a Settlement Agreement to leave his employment. To explain, a Settlement Agreement is a contract between an employer and an employee which, usually, sets out terms for the employee to give up their job, their employment rights and any Employment Tribunal claims they may have in exchange for a compensatory payment from their employer.

Before our appointment, I spent time reviewing the terms of my client’s Settlement Agreement in detail. During our appointment, we then spent time discussing the following together:
- The circumstances of his situation;
- Any potential Employment Tribunal claims he would be settling if he chose to sign the Settlement Agreement;
- The overall “benefit” of his Settlement Agreement – i.e., what benefits my client would be receiving over and above what he would otherwise be entitled to;
- Each of the individual terms of the Settlement Agreement, in detail;
- The various options available moving forward, including my suggestions for negotiation of certain provisions in his Settlement Agreement.
Our meeting, as above, was of unlimited duration. My client was, understandably, very nervous and anxious about his situation. Our meeting therefore provided my client with the opportunity to fully understand his options and make an informed decision as to how he wanted to proceed.
Following our meeting, I also confirmed my advice in writing to ensure my client had a full record of our discussions. After reviewing my advice, my client decided he wanted to sign his Settlement Agreement. I was therefore on hand to assist in sending the relevant documentation to his employer.
