Settlement Agreement Solicitors Across London and East London
Free, same-day settlement agreement advice across London, and in almost every case your employer pays our fee. Based in Canary Wharf, we know the local employment map intimately, from the finance towers on the estate to the public-sector headquarters at Stratford and the hospitals and universities around Whitechapel.

Employer Pays
In almost every case
Every part of London ends employment differently. A senior banker leaving a firm on the Canary Wharf estate faces a very different agreement, full of deferred bonuses, share awards and restrictive covenants, from a retail worker leaving a role at Westfield Stratford, or a nurse going through an NHS restructure near the Royal London Hospital. That is why we do not run one generic London page. Each area below has its own page that reflects the real work, the real employers and the real reasons people are leaving jobs in that part of the city.
Wherever you are, the service is the same: we review your agreement the same day, tell you in plain English whether the offer is fair, and negotiate for more where your claim supports it. You deal with Taj Ahmed, a solicitor with more than fifteen years in employment law, not a call centre.
How we work
Four things you can count on.
Free to you
Your employer almost always pays our fee, because taking independent legal advice is a legal requirement for a settlement agreement to be valid.
Same day
We can usually review and advise on your agreement the day we receive it.
A named solicitor
Your case is handled personally, not passed around a team.
Across London and beyond
In person from Canary Wharf, or by phone anywhere in England and Wales.

Why employees across London choose us
A boutique, not a call centre.
The settlement agreement market is crowded, and almost every firm makes the same promises: free, same-day, employer pays. We make those promises too. The difference is what sits behind them. Deen & Co is a boutique firm led by Taj Ahmed, who trained at the Legal 500 human rights firm Christian Khan, specialised in employment law at Thompsons acting for the UK's largest trade unions, and founded the firm in 2011. He has advised on thousands of settlement agreements.
When you contact us, a named solicitor reads your agreement and handles your negotiation personally. That is the whole point of a boutique.
FAQs
Common questions.
- Do I have to live in the area to use you?
- No. What matters is getting expert advice quickly. We advise employees who live or work anywhere in London and across England and Wales, in person from Canary Wharf or by phone.
- Which London areas do you cover for settlement agreements?
- All of them. We build dedicated pages for the areas with the most demand and cover everywhere else through our service area and by phone or video.
- How quickly can you review my settlement agreement?
- Usually the same day we receive it. Send us the agreement, your contract and any related documents, and we will book your advice call.
- Will it cost me anything?
- In most cases nothing. Your employer contributes to your legal fees as part of the agreement, and we invoice them directly. We will tell you up front if your matter is more complex.
