Do I need a solicitor to sign a settlement agreement in Cardiff?

Yes. A settlement agreement is only legally binding once you have received independent legal advice from a qualified adviser, such as a solicitor. Our specialist employment solicitors advise employees and employers across Cardiff and the surrounding area.

Will my employer pay my legal fees?

In most cases, yes. Employers almost always include a contribution towards your legal fees in the settlement agreement, and in many cases this covers the full cost of the advice.

Do I need to visit an office in Cardiff?

No. Almost all of our advice is delivered remotely by phone or video, so you can get specialist settlement agreement advice wherever you are, with same-day appointments usually available.

Settlement Agreements in Cardiff, Wales

Based in Wales, Cardiff is the capital city — whether you work for a small local employer or a national business with a base here, we can help. Whether you have been made redundant, managed out, or offered a package to leave quietly, a settlement agreement in Cardiff should never be signed without advice. We act for people right across Wales, checking every clause — payment, notice, references and restrictions — before anything is finalised.

Why You Need Independent Legal Advice

A settlement agreement is only legally binding once you have received advice from an independent adviser, such as a qualified solicitor, on its terms and their effect on your ability to bring a claim. That safeguard exists to protect you — and it is why employers almost always contribute towards your legal fees.

What Our Review Covers

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

The size and structure of the termination payment, and whether any of it can be paid tax-free.
Your notice pay, holiday pay and any outstanding bonus or commission.
Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.
The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.

The Cost to You

For most people the advice costs them nothing. The settlement agreement itself will usually set out a contribution from your employer towards your legal fees, and that figure typically covers our work in full. Where a matter is more complex, we agree any difference with you before we start.

Fast Turnaround

We know these deadlines rarely wait. For clients in Cardiff 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.
