Settlement Agreement Solicitors for the West Midlands

The West Midlands metropolitan county takes in Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton, so a service that covers the whole region beats any single local office. 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. That is the purpose of this page, the same free, same-day advice across the whole West Midlands. If you are in the city itself, see our Birmingham page.

The West Midlands metropolitan county supports around 1.43 million jobs and produces about 4% of England's total economic output, making it one of the largest metropolitan economies in the country [Source: ONS, verify]. The median full-time salary is around £34,000, and unemployment has run higher than the national average, at about 6.6% [Source: ONS ASHE / APS 2023, verify]. The biggest single source of jobs is human health and social work, alongside a large administrative, retail and advanced-manufacturing base rooted in the region's engineering and automotive heritage, and a growing professional-services sector centred on Birmingham's Colmore business district [Source: ONS BRES, verify]. Pay varies across the region, from around £30,300 in the lower-paying boroughs to about £39,500 in Coventry [Source: ONS ASHE, verify]. That mix means settlement agreements arise across manufacturing, health, retail and professional employers alike.

We handle the whole process: separating your contractual entitlements from the genuine compensation, telling you whether the total is fair, valuing any claim, negotiating for more where the leverage is there, and structuring the tax. For manufacturing and engineering roles we pay attention to shift and contractual terms; for professional and health roles, to process fairness and compensation. See the settlement agreement guide, how much you should get and the calculator.

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.

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.
