BEST SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT SOLICITORS Ashford

Helping You Reach the Best Outcome With a Leading Employment Law Specialist and Trusted Settlement Agreement Solicitor Near Ashford

Employment settlement agreements (formerly known as compromise agreements) are a legally binding agreement made between an employer and employee. These are usually offered shortly before or after the end of an employment relationship, because the employee wants to terminate your contract on mutually agreed ground.


The rules of a settlement agreement is an agreement that the employee will receive the sum of money agreed, but also must agree not to bring a legal claim against their employer for reasons such as: unfair dismissal, breach of contract or employee discrimination. Generally speaking, it is a method of avoiding any conflict after leaving employment. Seeking expert advice from settlement agreement solicitors in Ashford can ensure that you fully understand your rights and secure the best possible outcome.

Expert Employment Law Support for Long-Term Illness, Discrimination at Work, Redundancy, Restructuring, and Employee Misconduct

You don't have to 'be in the wrong' for an employer to offer a settlement agreement, employers can offer a settlement agreement for a variety of reasons, including: 


  • A long-term illness you are experiencing preventing you from working
  • You are dealing with discrimination against you in the workplace
  • The business is facing a re-structure
  • The business is struggling financially to keep you on
  • Your performance at work is poor
  • A colleague has made a complaint about you


Dealing with any of the above situations could lead to a messy break away from the company, therefore settlement agreements are most commonly brought by the employer because they are wanting to ensure your break away from their company is 'clean' and avoid the potentially costly and lengthy court proceedings.


If facing any of these circumstances, seeking support with employment settlement agreements can help you navigate the process. A settlement agreement enables the employment to end quickly, on agreed financial terms. In most circumstances, the result of a settlement agreement mostly provides a win/win situation for both parties without the additional stress.
