Compromise Agreement Solicitors - Get Specialist Advice
If your employer has discussed a compromise agreement with you but you can only find information on settlement agreements, this is because compromise agreements are now known as 'settlement agreements'.
Your first steps before compromising your employment rights
If you sign a compromise agreement, or settlement agreement, you will sign away your right to bring claims against your employer. To protect yourself you must get employment law advice. Our specialist lawyers advise you as to whether the terms your employer has offered you are reasonable & if you could be compromised by signing away your employment rights.

What are the benefits for me of signing the agreement?
The potential benefits for you are that:
- Your employer may offer you an enhanced tax free payment for signing the agreement.
- The agreement creates a clean break for you and allows you to move on and find alternative employment, saving you time and money on a Tribunal claim.
- The agreement ensures your employer provides an agreed reference for future employers so you know what they have written and can approve the reference in advance.
How much will legal advice cost me?
We don't charge you for advice or negotiations we undertake on a settlement agreement for you. It is usual for your employer to pay a fixed fee to cover legal advice, so all our costs will be paid by your employer. We will invoice them direct once the matter has concluded, so you won't need to worry about costs. The only time we ask you to pay is if you choose not to sign, after we have advised you. We then limit our costs to the employers contribution amount. For more information on settlement agreements visit our settlement agreement advice page.
