Settlement Agreement Solicitors – Free Legal Advice Paid for by Your Employer
If you’ve been offered a Settlement Agreement, you must receive independent legal advice for the agreement to be legally binding. At Powell Spencer & Partners, our specialist settlement agreement solicitors provide fast, expert guidance — with no cost to you, because your employer pays our fees.
We help employees across London and the UK understand their rights, improve their exit terms, and secure fair compensation.
Free Settlement Agreement Advice – How It Works
In almost all cases, your employer covers 100% of the legal costs for you to obtain advice on a Settlement Agreement. This means:
You pay nothing
You receive independent, specialist advice from an experienced employment solicitor
If your employer’s contribution is too low, we deal with them directly to increase it — you still pay nothing
Our goal is to protect your rights, safeguard your financial position, and ensure the agreement works for you.
What Is a Settlement Agreement?
A Settlement Agreement is a legally binding contract used to end employment or resolve workplace disputes. By signing it, you give up your right to bring employment tribunal claims in exchange for a settlement payment or other benefits.
You are required by law to obtain advice from a solicitor before signing, which is why employers fund the legal fees.
Common situations include:
Redundancy
Workplace disputes
Performance or disciplinary issues
Long-term sickness or capability matters
Mutual exit arrangements

We check the terms, compensation, notice pay, holiday pay, references, timelines, restrictive covenants and confidentiality clauses.
✔ Clear advice in plain English
We explain what you are signing, whether the offer is fair, and what your legal options are.

Where appropriate, we can seek:
Higher compensation
