Advice on settlement agreements

Settlement agreements vary enormously in terms of their content and level of complexity. No two employment relationships are the same and we take time to understand each client’s particular circumstances and what they want to achieve, including beneficial tax structuring on termination payments and legal fee contributions.

Having the benefit of a specialist employment lawyer to assist in negotiating the underlying commercial terms as well as the key drafting points can make a significant difference. Our experience of advising from both sides of the negotiating table provides us with an insight into which terms are commercially achievable and allows us to anticipate an employer’s approach to negotiations.
