Our Process
We take care of the settlement agreement process so you can focus on what comes next.
Step 1: We advise you on your agreement
Settlement agreements are legal documents — often written in dense contractual language and covering far more than just a payment figure. We go through everything with you; from the financial terms to which employment claims you are being asked to waive. You will understand what you are agreeing to before you sign anything.
Step 2: We certify and countersign
Once you are satisfied with the terms, we countersign the agreement as your independent legal adviser. This is a legal requirement for a settlement agreement to be valid. Your employer then countersigns and the agreement becomes binding. In straightforward cases, we can complete this process on the same day we receive your documents.
