Our Services

A settlement agreement is a binding contract under which an employee waives the right to bring specified claims against their employer, usually in exchange for a payment. They are used on exit, in redundancy, and to resolve disputes without a tribunal. Deen & Co advises employees free of charge on a same-day basis, with the fee recovered from the employer in almost every case.

Common Questions

There is no formula. The figure reflects length of service, salary, notice entitlement, the strength of any claim the employee could bring, the employer's appetite for a tribunal, and the commercial context. Statutory redundancy pay sets a floor in redundancy cases, but agreements frequently exceed it.

Usually not. Because the agreement is only binding if the employee has taken independent advice, employers have a direct interest in that advice being obtained, and it is standard for them to contribute to the employee's fees. Deen & Co recovers its fee from the employer in almost every case.

We offer comprehensive settlement agreement advice, review and negotiate terms, and ensure your interests are protected throughout the process.

Yes. An initial offer is an opening position. Beyond the payment figure, the reference wording, timing, tax treatment, scope of the waiver and any restrictive covenants are all commonly negotiated. Signing without reviewing the non-financial terms is a frequent and avoidable mistake.

We provide a same-day service for processing settlement agreements, ensuring that your case moves forward swiftly.
