Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Swindon

Specialist Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Swindon

Based in Wiltshire, Swindon is a former railway town built around the Great Western Railway works — whether you work for a small local employer or a national business with a base here, we can help. Settlement agreements are used across Wiltshire to bring an employment relationship to a close on agreed terms — often around redundancy, a workplace dispute, or a performance issue. Wherever you are in Swindon, we review the agreement, assess the financial package, and advise you honestly on whether to sign, negotiate, or push back.

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.

Before You Sign: What We Look At

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

• The contribution your employer is making towards your legal costs.
• The size and structure of the termination payment, and whether any of it can be paid tax-free.
• Confidentiality and non-derogatory terms, and whether they are reasonable.
• The wording of the agreed reference and any announcement to colleagues.

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.

Fast Turnaround

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