Specialist Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Sutton

Sutton, an outer borough, is in south London, but the law around settlement agreements is the same wherever you're based. Whether you have been made redundant, managed out, or offered a package to leave quietly, a settlement agreement in Sutton should never be signed without advice. We act for people right across South London, checking every clause — payment, notice, references and restrictions — before anything is finalised.

Independent Advice Is a Legal Requirement

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.

Before You Sign: What We Look At

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

  • The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.
  • Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.
  • Confidentiality and non-derogatory terms, and whether they are reasonable.
  • Your notice pay, holiday pay and any outstanding bonus or commission.

Will My Employer Pay My Legal Fees?

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 Sutton that contribution meets our costs entirely, and we will tell you up front if it does not.

Working to Your Deadline

Time pressure is common with settlement agreements. Our solicitors can usually review the document, advise you and complete the certificate within 24 to 48 hours — faster where the deadline demands it. Call us on 020 3058 3365.
