Settlement Agreements
If an employer wants to end your employment, they may put forward a settlement agreement. This is essentially a contract between you and your employer which sets out the agreed terms of your employment ending.
It is vital that you are given thorough and independent legal advice before deciding whether to enter into a settlement agreement. Signing a settlement agreement will involve you waiving your right to bring certain claims against your employer and may impose strict confidentiality requirements or restrict your future employment. Without expert independent advice you cannot make an informed decision.
We are also experienced in negotiating the terms of a settlement agreement, to ensure that they are fair to you and that you receive the payment you deserve.
Why the Nowell Meller Disputes Team is the right choice for you
We believe that it is important to try to resolve disputes without Tribunal proceedings where possible, as this is often the quickest and most cost-effective way to get the result you need. We can negotiate directly with your employer and through ACAS.
However, if a settlement cannot be reached our experience in litigation and strong advocacy skills will put you in the best place to succeed in your claim.
If you believe you have a professional negligence claim please do not hesitate to speak to one of our friendly team members at either our Stafford office on 01785 252377 or our Stoke on Trent office on 01782 813315.
