Settlement Agreement

This is a legal contract between you and your employer, which you both have to adhere to.  It may involve your employer promising to pay you a sum of money, stop treating you unlawfully, or both.  They are a very useful way of ensuring that employee/employer disputes are concluded without the need for either side to resort to legal action.

You need to have a solicitor to make the settlement agreement valid as the law regulates them and requires that you have independent advice on the terms and their effect, with the effect on your ability to pursue claims in the employment tribunal.

Fees for giving advice on a settlement agreement start at £450 +VAT, and depend on the complexity of the matter. The average charge for a settlement agreement is £450. Your employer may meet some or all of these costs for you. A settlement agreement can usually be dealt with within 7 days of the agreement being issued by the employer.

All other employment law advice and representation is costed on a time basis, starting at £150+VAT/Hour £190 + vat. The complexity of the case, together with the volume of documentation needing to be prepared for the trial bundle, and the number of days required for the trial will all affect the costs.
