When you’re presented with a settlement agreement, it’s essential to understand your rights, protect your position, and ensure the terms are fair. At WHN Solicitors, our experienced Settlement Agreement Team are here to guide you through the process with clarity, confidence and practical expertise.

What Is a Settlement Agreement?

A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract between you and your employer, usually offered when employment is coming to an end or following a workplace dispute. By signing, you agree not to pursue certain legal claims in exchange for financial compensation or other agreed terms.

Our settlement agreement experts regularly support individuals facing redundancy, performance issues, workplace disputes or mutually agreed exits, helping them understand exactly what the agreement means and what they are entitled to.
