Settlement Agreements, Camden

If you have been offered a settlement agreement by your employer, it is important you have an independent and experienced lawyer consider whether the agreement is in your best interests.

JFH Law’s specialist employment lawyers have been drafting and negotiating on settlement agreements in Camden for many years. We provide clear explanations and impartial advice as to the best way to proceed.

There is no obligation upon you to accept the terms of the agreement. If you choose not to, you are free to make a claim to the employment tribunal (usually within 3 months of the date of termination).

The good news is that your employer will usually contribute towards the cost of you seeking independent legal advice.

At JFH Law, we are committed to keeping the costs within the maximum paid by your employer wherever possible, and if there are likely to be additional costs, we will discuss these with you before carrying out any work.

As an employer, it is your responsibility to ensure that the agreement complies with the legal requirements relating to settlement agreements and that any conditions you want to impose are clear and concise.

You can include additional post-termination restrictions and confidentiality obligations on your employee, but these need to be relevant and reasonable in order to be enforceable, and may require additional payments to the employee to make them contractually binding.

The specialist lawyers at JFH Law can provide your business with legal support, draft a bespoke settlement agreement which meets your requirements and advise you on negotiating terms prior to the agreement being finalised.
