As one of the post-war new towns, Stevenage sees the same settlement agreement questions we handle everywhere — is the payment fair, is it tax-free, and should you push back. Being handed a settlement agreement can feel overwhelming, particularly when the deadline is short. If you work in Stevenage or the surrounding Hertfordshire 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.
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.
When we review a settlement agreement for a client in Stevenage, 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 Stevenage 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.
Businesses in Stevenage instruct us to prepare watertight settlement agreements, handle sensitive exits and redundancies, and resolve disputes before they escalate. Our advice is practical and focused on protecting the organisation.
