Specialist employment solicitors advising on settlement agreements throughout St Albans and Hertfordshire. Free initial assessment — call 020 3058 3365.
Based in Hertfordshire, St Albans is a cathedral city with Roman roots as Verulamium — 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 St Albans should never be signed without advice. We act for people right across Hertfordshire, checking every clause — payment, notice, references and restrictions — before anything is finalised.
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 St Albans, 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 St Albans 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 St Albans and across Hertfordshire, 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, Watford, Stevenage, Hemel Hempstead, Hatfield and Luton.
