Independent settlement agreement advice for employees and employers in Cambridge and across Cambridgeshire. Free same-day assessment — call 020 3058 3365.
Based in Cambridgeshire, Cambridge is a historic university city — whether you work for a small local employer or a national business with a base here, we can help. If your employer in Cambridge 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 Cambridge and across Cambridgeshire, translating the legal jargon into plain English and making sure nothing in the document works against you.
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.
When we review a settlement agreement for a client in Cambridge, we look closely at:
Almost always, yes. Employers routinely include a contribution towards the employee's legal fees, precisely because independent advice is a legal requirement. In the majority of cases in Cambridge that contribution meets our costs entirely, and we will tell you up front if it does not.
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.
We also act for employers in Cambridge and across Cambridgeshire, drafting robust settlement agreements, managing redundancy and exit processes, and defending Employment Tribunal claims with commercially minded advice.
We also advise clients across the neighbouring areas of Norwich, Peterborough and Ipswich.
