Settlement agreements almost always include an employer contribution towards your independent legal fees, usually between £350 and £750 plus VAT. We work within that contribution. You receive expert specialist advice, and in most cases, it costs you nothing.
We review and advise on settlement agreements every day. We’ll tell you clearly what your agreement means, whether it’s fair and what you should push back on.

We go through the agreement carefully, flag anything that needs attention — including equity, IP and restrictive covenant clauses and give you a non-jargon picture of your options.
We complete your formal advice session and sign off on the agreement. Most Cambridge clients are through the process within 24 hours.
For most clients, settlement agreements cost nothing at all. Your employer’s contribution covers our fees in full. In cases where equity, bonus or complex terms require additional work beyond the standard contribution, we’ll explain exactly what that means for you before proceeding.
