Settlement Agreement Advice, Signed Off Fast
Your settlement agreement is not legally binding until you take independent legal advice on it, and your employer usually pays the fee. Compare SRA-regulated solicitors by price and turnaround, and get the adviser's certificate signed before your deadline.
Why You Need a Solicitor's Signature
By law, a settlement agreement only validly waives your employment claims if you have received advice on its terms and effect from a relevant independent adviser. No certificate, no binding agreement, and no settlement payment.
Your Choice of Adviser
The adviser must be independent of your employer, and the choice is yours. You are never required to use a firm your employer suggests.
Your Employer Usually Pays
Most agreements include a fixed employer contribution, typically £350 to £500 plus VAT, which normally covers the required advice in full.
Built for Deadlines
Offers often come with days to sign, not weeks. Filter the panel by turnaround, and firms offering same-day video appointments can sign the certificate the day you send the paperwork.
