Settlement Agreements in Blackpool, Lancashire

As a Fylde coast seaside resort, Blackpool sees the same settlement agreement questions we handle everywhere — is the payment fair, is it tax-free, and should you push back. If your employer in Blackpool has offered you a settlement agreement, the law requires you to take independent legal advice before it becomes binding. We advise employees and employers throughout Blackpool and across Lancashire, translating the legal jargon into plain English and making sure nothing in the document works against you.

Why You Need Independent Legal Advice

The law deliberately makes independent advice a condition of a valid settlement agreement. Once we have advised you and signed the certificate confirming it, the agreement becomes binding — but only after you fully understand the deal and are satisfied it is right for you.

What We Check in Your Agreement

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

  • Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.
  • Confidentiality and non-derogatory terms, and whether they are reasonable.
  • The size and structure of the termination payment, and whether any of it can be paid tax-free.
  • Whether any statutory or contractual claims are being unfairly signed away.

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.

Fast Turnaround

Settlement agreements often arrive with a tight deadline. In most cases we can review yours and give you clear advice within 24 hours, and same-day appointments are usually available. Call us on 020 3058 3365.
