Settlement Agreements Sheffield

With offices in Sheffield our Settlement Agreement team are a key part of our employment department.

 

We have extensive experience in this area of law ad we can assist clients throughout England and Wales without needing a face to face meeting. 

 

If you have been made redundant your employer will usually insist on an agreed redundancy package in the form of a settlement agreement, formerly known as a 'compromise agreement.' This is a legally-binding document that you will be required to enter into, and as such you may want an employment lawyer to review the documentation before signing on the dotted line.

 

We can provide advice on the contents of a settlement agreement and discuss it's implications and the responsibility it places on both parties. 

 

Your settlement agreement will usually include the following information:

 

 A waiver on your part for any future claim against your employer

 What will happen to any company property

 Your date of departure

 Your payment for leaving (including a gratuity)

 

If you are unhappy with the settlement package you have been offered our legal team can help negotiate on your behalf.

 

As such the Sheffield team can assist with negotiating a better severance payment, a better reference from your employer, or loosening any restrictive covenants dictating where you can work following your release.
