Offered a settlement agreement in Hertfordshire? We give free, same-day advice by phone, email and video, with your employer paying our fee in almost every case. You get a named, specialist employment solicitor who tells you whether the offer is fair and negotiates for more where your claim supports it, wherever you are in the county.
Why we cover the whole county from one place
Hertfordshire is a cluster of thriving commuter towns, St Albans, Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage, Welwyn Hatfield and more, rather than one central hub, so a service that covers the whole county beats any single local office. Settlement advice is delivered entirely remotely: the agreement by email, the advice by phone or video, the certificate signed electronically. The law requires only a qualified independent adviser, not a local one. That is the purpose of this page, the same free, same-day advice across the whole of Hertfordshire.
The Hertfordshire job market
Hertfordshire is one of the higher-earning counties in the country, powered by its fast rail links into London and a strong base of research, technology, film and professional-services employers. Median full-time salaries across the county's districts range from around £37,800 to £50,900, and average salaries reach close to £59,000 in the highest-earning districts, above the UK average of roughly £48,500 [Source: ONS ASHE 2025, verify]. St Albans and East Hertfordshire consistently rank among the highest-paying local authorities in the UK [Source: ONS ASHE, verify]. The county hosts major employers in pharmaceuticals, technology, film production and logistics, including well-known names in science and film studios around Stevenage, Hatfield and Leavesden [Source: verify named employers before publishing]. That professional, high-value employment base means many Hertfordshire settlements involve senior packages, bonuses and share awards.
How we help Hertfordshire employees
We take you through the whole agreement: separating your contractual entitlements from the genuine compensation, scrutinising bonus, commission and share terms, negotiating restrictive covenants, and structuring the tax correctly. For research, tech and professional roles we pay particular attention to intellectual property, confidentiality and post-termination restrictions. See the settlement agreement guide, how much you should get and the calculator.
How the remote service works
Send us your agreement and contract; we call you, usually the same working day, and explain every clause; we tell you whether it is fair and value any claim; we negotiate where it helps; and we advise you formally and sign the certificate electronically, often within a day or two.
Free to you
Your employer contributes to your legal fees as standard, and we invoice them directly, so for a standard agreement you normally pay nothing. See our pricing.
