If you work in Birmingham and have been offered a settlement agreement, we give free, same-day advice by phone or video, and your employer pays our fee in almost every case. A named employment solicitor will tell you honestly whether the offer is fair and negotiate for more where your claim supports it, wherever you are in England and Wales.
Birmingham is the UK's second city and a major hub for financial and professional services, with a strong business district around Colmore Row and continued growth on the back of major regeneration. Settlement agreements are common across its large employer base. We advise Birmingham employees remotely, with the same same-day service our London clients receive.
How our remote service works
Send us your agreement, we book a same-day review with a specialist, advise by phone or video, negotiate where it helps, and complete electronically. Read the settlement agreement hub or try the calculator.
Free advice, employer pays
Usually no cost to you; the employer's contribution is paid directly to the firm.

What it costs you
Your employer will usually include a contribution to your legal fees in the settlement agreement, often a few hundred pounds plus VAT, and more for senior roles. In almost every case, that contribution covers our fee in full, and we invoice your employer directly. You pay nothing, and none of it comes out of your settlement.
Where your offer can be improved, we will tell you, and we will negotiate with your employer for you. We tell you before any extra cost could arise.
