Offered a settlement agreement in Kent? 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, without you leaving home.
Why we cover the whole county from one place
Kent stretches from the London border and the Medway towns across to Canterbury and the Channel ports, so being near one town would mean being far from most. It does not matter, because settlement advice works entirely at a distance: the agreement comes to us by email, we advise by phone or video, and the certificate is signed electronically. The law asks for a qualified independent adviser, not a local one. So the point of this service is simple, a specialist for the whole of Kent, delivering the same free, same-day advice wherever you are.
The Kent job market
Kent is one of the largest county economies in England, with around 775,000 jobs and a working-age population of roughly 962,000. Its economy accounts for about 2.4% of England's total, making it the fourth largest county by output. The biggest employers of people are wholesale and retail, human health and social work (over 10% of roles), and education, and the county has a strong transport and logistics base built around the Channel ports and rail links, with major employers including Eurostar, Eurotunnel, P&O Ferries and BAE Systems. The median full-time salary is around £33,000, and unemployment has run slightly above the national average at about 5%. Across that range of employers, from ports and manufacturing to health and retail, settlement agreements are a regular feature of exits.
How we help Kent employees
We handle the whole process: separating what you are owed anyway (notice, salary, holiday, statutory redundancy) from the genuine compensation on top, telling you whether the total is fair, valuing any claim, negotiating for more where the leverage is there, and checking the tax is right. For logistics, port and manufacturing roles we pay close attention to shift and contractual terms; for health, education and retail we focus on process fairness and the compensation. See the settlement agreement guide, how much you should get and the calculator.
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.
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, because independent advice is a legal requirement, and we invoice them directly, so for a standard agreement you normally pay nothing. See our pricing.
