Most settlement agreements include a contribution from your employer towards your legal costs. It works out typically between £350 and £750 plus VAT. We work within that budget, so in most cases, the advice you receive costs you nothing personally.
We’ll review it, advise you and make sure you understand exactly what you’re signing — and whether it’s worth pushing for more.

Sheffield’s economy is worth over £7 billion a year. Its largest employment sectors now span advanced manufacturing, higher education, healthcare and professional services. The Advanced Manufacturing Park on the eastern edge of the city is home to Boeing, Rolls-Royce and a cluster of precision engineering businesses.
Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest employers in the region. And two major universities create a vast and varied employment market across the city. When employers of this scale restructure, settlement agreements are routinely issued to employees who need independent advice before signing.
The legal requirement to take advice is just the starting point. Here’s why it genuinely matters:
Employment law covers a broad range of issues. Settlement agreements are a specific, technical area within it. They require a solicitor who handles them regularly, not one who sees them occasionally alongside other work. We focus exclusively on employment law and handle settlement agreements day in, day out:
In most cases, your employer funds all of this.
We regularly support clients based across the Sheffield city region, including:
From precision engineers at the AMP to NHS staff at the Northern General, we understand the local employment landscape and give you advice that reflects it.
Email your settlement agreement or ask for a callback. We'll respond on the same working day.
We read every clause, explain what the agreement actually means and give you a frank assessment of whether the deal is fair and what we'd want to change if it isn't.
We complete your formal advice call and provide our sign-off. Most cases are wrapped up within 24 hours.
Settlement agreements usually cost nothing. Your employer’s contribution covers our fees in the vast majority of cases. On the rare occasions that isn’t the case, we’ll tell you exactly what the position is before any work begins.
Settlement Agreements often come with tight deadlines – don’t leave it too late. Speak to a Settlement Agreement Solicitor Today
