Offered a settlement agreement in Leeds? We give free, same-day advice by phone or video, with your employer paying our fee in almost every case. You get a named employment solicitor who will tell you whether the offer is fair and negotiate for more where your claim allows, wherever you are in England and Wales.
Leeds is one of the UK's largest financial and legal centres outside London, with a dense concentration of banking, insurance, professional services and a fast-growing digital sector. Settlement agreements are a regular feature of exits across these industries. We advise Leeds employees remotely, with the same same-day service we give our London clients.
How our remote service works
Send us your agreement, we book a same-day review with a specialist, advise you by phone or video, negotiate where it helps, and complete electronically. See the settlement agreement hub or 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.
