If you work in Surrey and have been offered a settlement agreement, we give free, same-day advice by phone, email and video, and your employer pays our fee in almost every case. A named, specialist employment solicitor reviews your agreement, tells you honestly whether it 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
Surrey runs from the London fringe out through Guildford, Woking and beyond, and the sensible choice for settlement advice is not the nearest office but the right specialist. Everything is handled remotely: the agreement by email, the advice by phone or video, the certificate signed electronically. The law requires a qualified independent adviser, not a local one, so this service exists to give the whole of Surrey the same free, same-day advice, wherever you are.
The Surrey job market
Surrey has one of the highest-earning and most senior workforces in the country. The median full-time salary is around £45,800, well above the England figure of about £37,600, and a notably high share of residents work in the most senior roles: about 18.6% are managers, directors or senior officials (against 12.9% across England) and 24.3% are in professional occupations (against 20.3%) [Source: Surrey-i / 2021 Census / ONS ASHE 2024, verify]. Employment rates are high, around 83% for men and 77% for women [Source: ONS APS, verify]. That concentration of senior corporate, professional and head-office roles, clustered along the M25 and M3 in towns like Guildford, Woking and Weybridge, means Surrey generates a high proportion of complex, senior-level settlement agreements, often involving bonuses, share awards and restrictive covenants.
How we help Surrey employees
Senior settlements need care, and that is our focus here. We separate your contractual entitlements from the genuine compensation, scrutinise bonus and commission clauses, deal with unvested share options and long-term incentive plans, and negotiate the release or relaxation of restrictive covenants so you can move on freely. We also structure the tax correctly, which matters more at higher settlement values. 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. Where a senior package is more complex, we tell you up front. See our pricing.
