Settlement agreements for employers

Advice for Employers

It’s vital that employers get the best advice to ensure that agreements they enter are binding.  As a business owner you need the certainty to know that the agreement draws a line in the sand and that you won’t face further potential claims from departing employees.

We can prepare and negotiate settlement agreements with your employees and find a resolution that works for you.

We will advise you on whether any employee has any potential claims against you and how strong they may or may not be.  This puts you in the best place to decide whether to offer a settlement agreement and, if so, at what level.

If an agreement can’t be reached then we can act for you in defending a claim to the tribunal.
