Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Wandsworth

Specialist Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Wandsworth

Wandsworth, an inner borough, is in south-west London, but the law around settlement agreements is the same wherever you're based. For employees and employers in Wandsworth, a settlement agreement is a legally binding contract that ends employment on agreed terms, usually in exchange for a payment. Our team advises clients throughout Wandsworth and the wider South West London region, making sure you understand your rights and secure the strongest possible outcome.

Independent Advice Is a Legal Requirement

A settlement agreement is only legally binding once you have received advice from an independent adviser, such as a qualified solicitor, on its terms and their effect on your ability to bring a claim. That safeguard exists to protect you — and it is why employers almost always contribute towards your legal fees.

What Our Review Covers

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

• Your notice pay, holiday pay and any outstanding bonus or commission.
• 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.
• Post-termination restrictions, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.

The Cost to You

In the vast majority of cases, your employer pays. It is standard practice for the employer to contribute towards your legal costs as part of the deal, and in most straightforward matters that contribution covers our fee in full — so there is nothing for you to pay.
