I was delighted to assist my client with a Settlement Agreement she had received from her employer. I was also exceptionally grateful to receive a 5-star review and positive feedback. Please read on to find out more.
What Is A Settlement Agreement?
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 (such as discrimination, Unfair Dismissal, unlawful deduction of wages) in exchange for a compensatory payment from their employer.
Importantly, a Settlement Agreement is completely voluntary. It is also a condition of Settlement Agreements that an employee takes independent advice on its terms. For more information about this, please see our website here – https://lincslaw.co.uk/services/settlement-agreement/

I was delighted when my client decided to book an appointment with me to discuss her situation. Before our appointment, I spent time reviewing the terms of her Settlement Agreement in detail. During our appointment, we then spend time discussing the following together:
- The circumstances of her situation;
- Any potential Employment Tribunal claims she would be settling if she chose to sign the Settlement Agreement;
- The overall “benefit” of her Settlement Agreement – i.e., what benefits she would be receiving over and above what she was already entitled to and/or she could obtain by way of compensation via an Employment Tribunal claim;
- Each of the individual terms of the Settlement Agreement, in detail;
- The various options available moving forward.
Our meeting, as above, was scheduled for up to 90 minutes. This provided my client with the opportunity to fully understand her position and options moving forward.
Following our meeting, I also confirmed my advice in writing to ensure she had a full record of our discussions.
My client then decided she wanted to sign the Settlement Agreement. I was therefore on hand to assist with the signing process and returning the relevant documentation to her employer.
