Settlement Agreements and Coventry’s Economy
Automotive and advanced manufacturing sit at the heart of Coventry’s economy — around one in ten UK automotive jobs are based in Coventry and Warwickshire, with Jaguar Land Rover among the largest employers as it moves towards an all-electric model range. The city is also home to NP Aerospace and a wider advanced manufacturing base spanning rail, aerospace and motorsport, alongside a fast-growing technology and gaming cluster nicknamed “Silicon Spa.”
Whether you work in automotive manufacturing, engineering, technology, the public sector or elsewhere in Coventry, if you’ve been offered a settlement agreement, we can talk you through it by phone or video without you needing to travel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where would an Employment Tribunal claim from Coventry be heard? Coventry doesn’t have its own tribunal hearing centre — claims are heard at the Midlands (West) Employment Tribunal, Centre City Tower, 5-7 Hill Street, Birmingham B5 4UU. Most settlement agreements are resolved long before a claim reaches that stage.
Do I need to attend an office in Coventry to get advice? No. We advise clients across Coventry and Warwickshire entirely by phone and video call, which is usually quicker to arrange than an in-person meeting.
Who pays for the legal advice? Your employer – typically settlement agreements include an employers’ contribution towards the legal fees of getting advice. Our cost promise means our fees won’t exceed that.
Settlement agreement fact:
Under the Employment Rights Act 1996, a settlement agreement is only enforceable once the employee has received advice from an independent, qualified adviser. Learn more about how settlement agreements work.
