At Hadfield Bull & Bull our law firm, we specialise in the review, negotiation, and execution of settlement agreements in employment disputes. We are well-versed in handling complex employment law matters and committed to ensuring your best interests are protected throughout the process. A settlement agreement, formerly known as a compromise agreement, is a legally binding contract between an employer and employee which settles claims or disputes that the employee may have against their employer. Often, this arises in situations such as redundancy, disputes over pay, or when the employment relationship ends for any reason.
What We Do
Review
It is critical to understand every detail in your settlement agreement to ensure that you're not unknowingly signing away any rights or accepting terms that are unfavourable to you. We provide thorough reviews of all proposed agreements, explaining the legal terms in plain English and making sure that all the terms are fair and reasonable.
Negotiation
We will use our vast experience in employment law to negotiate the terms of your settlement agreement on your behalf. This includes ensuring that any compensation you receive is fair and adequate, and that your rights are protected post-employment. We’ll fight for the best outcome on your behalf, whether it’s securing enhanced compensation, or ensuring references and announcements are controlled.
Drafting & Execution
If required, we can draft settlement agreements that are comprehensive and serve your interests. We will guide you through the signing and execution process, ensuring that all legal requirements are met, providing you with peace of mind.
Advisory Services
We also provide advisory services on the potential tax implications of your settlement agreement, the impact on your future employment, and how to handle matters like post-employment restrictions and confidentiality clauses.
Who We Serve
Our services cater to employees at all levels - from entry-level positions to senior executives. Whether you're considering an offer of settlement from your employer, or you're an employer who needs to draft a legally sound settlement agreement, we're here to help. Remember, it is often the case that your employer will contribute to, or cover, the legal fees associated with obtaining advice on a settlement agreement. Therefore, you may not have to worry about the cost of protecting your rights and interests. At our law firm, we offer a personalized approach, ensuring that each client receives the care and attention they deserve. Our goal is to give you peace of mind during a potentially stressful time, knowing that you have expert employment law specialists by your side.
