Offered a settlement agreement in West Yorkshire? 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 region, without you leaving home.
Why we cover the whole region from one place
West Yorkshire takes in Leeds, Bradford, Kirklees, Wakefield and Calderdale, so a service covering 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 point of this page, the same free, same-day advice across the whole of West Yorkshire. If you are in the city itself, see our Leeds page.
The West Yorkshire job market
West Yorkshire supports around 1.2 million jobs and produces about 3.4% of England's economic output. The median full-time salary is around £32,600, and unemployment has run at about 4.3%. The region is one of the largest financial and legal centres in the country outside London: the Leeds City Region has roughly a quarter of a million people working in financial and professional services, generating output of around £13 billion a year, and financial and insurance activity makes up a higher share of the West Yorkshire economy than the national average. Alongside that sit a large manufacturing base and a fast-growing digital sector, with Leeds a major national internet and data hub. That corporate and professional base means many West Yorkshire settlements involve bonuses, share awards and restrictive covenants.
How we help West Yorkshire employees
We handle the whole agreement: separating your contractual entitlements from the genuine compensation, scrutinising bonus and share terms, negotiating restrictive covenants, telling you whether the total is fair, valuing any claim, and structuring the tax. For finance, legal and professional roles we focus on compensation and covenants; for manufacturing and digital roles, on the fundamentals and any technical or fixed-term issues. 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.
