Chichester is a cathedral city and county town, in West Sussex. If your employer in Chichester 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 Chichester and across West Sussex, translating the legal jargon into plain English and making sure nothing in the document works against you.
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.
When we review a settlement agreement for a client in Chichester, we look closely at:
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.
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 Chichester and across West Sussex, 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 London, Worthing, Eastbourne, Crawley and Brighton.
