Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Norwich

Settlement Agreement Advice in Norwich

Norwich is a cathedral city and county town, in Norfolk. Being handed a settlement agreement can feel overwhelming, particularly when the deadline is short. If you work in Norwich or the surrounding Norfolk area, our specialist employment solicitors will explain exactly what the agreement means, whether the terms are fair, and what could be improved before you sign.

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 Norwich, we look closely at:

• Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.
• Your notice pay, holiday pay and any outstanding bonus or commission.
• Whether any statutory or contractual claims are being unfairly signed away.
• The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.

Will My Employer Pay My Legal Fees?

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.

Working to Your Deadline

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