Settlement Agreements in Bath, Somerset

Based in Somerset, Bath is a Georgian spa city and UNESCO World Heritage Site — whether you work for a small local employer or a national business with a base here, we can help. Settlement agreements are used across Somerset to bring an employment relationship to a close on agreed terms — often around redundancy, a workplace dispute, or a performance issue. Wherever you are in Bath, we review the agreement, assess the financial package, and advise you honestly on whether to sign, negotiate, or push back.

Why You Need Independent Legal Advice

Because you are giving up the right to bring most employment claims, the agreement is not enforceable until an independent solicitor has advised you on what you are signing away. This requirement is in your favour: it means you get proper advice, usually at your employer's expense.

Before You Sign: What We Look At

When we review a settlement agreement for a client in Bath, we look closely at:

  • The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.
  • Whether any statutory or contractual claims are being unfairly signed away.
  • The wording of the agreed reference and any announcement to colleagues.
  • Your notice pay, holiday pay and any outstanding bonus or commission.

Who Pays for the Advice?

In the vast majority of cases, your employer pays. It is standard practice for the employer to contribute towards your legal costs as part of the deal, and in most straightforward matters that contribution covers our fee in full — so there is nothing for you to pay.

Working to Your Deadline

We know these deadlines rarely wait. For clients in Bath we can normally turn around a full review and advice within a day, and we keep same-day slots open for urgent cases. Call us on 020 3058 3365.
