About Us

We started this because too many people sign settlement agreements they don't fully understand. Not because they're careless, but because the process is confusing, the deadline feels tight, and finding a solicitor from scratch is one more thing to deal with during an already stressful time.

Why we started

Our founder set this site up after going through redundancy themselves and being handed a settlement agreement with no real idea what to do next. Whether the offer was fair, what the legal jargon actually meant, or even who to ask. Like most people in that position, they weren't going to spend hours researching employment law while also worrying about their next job. What they needed was a straightforward, honest place to start, and someone to point them to the right independent advice without a sales pitch attached. That gap is exactly what SettlementAgreementGuide.co.uk was built to fill. For anyone else finding a settlement agreement on their desk and not knowing where to turn.

What we do

We pass your settlement agreement straight to an independent, SRA-regulated employment solicitor. We don't comment on or interpret it ourselves, since that would risk straying into legal advice, which only a solicitor can give. We introduce you to that solicitor for the formal legal advice and sign-off your agreement needs to be valid. We are not a law firm and we don't give legal advice ourselves. Seeing our role clearly is part of how we keep it honest.

Who we work with

We work with a panel of independent employment solicitors across England and Wales, all currently regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). We check this regularly, and we only introduce firms we'd be comfortable recommending to a friend.

How we make money

Full detail is on our how we're paid page, but in short: we receive a referral fee from the solicitor firm, funded by the legal fee contribution your employer already pays as part of your agreement. It costs you nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Are you solicitors?

No. We are an introducer service, not a law firm. We help you understand your settlement agreement and connect you with an independent, SRA-regulated solicitor for the legal advice and sign-off the law requires.

How do you choose which solicitors to work with?

We check that every firm on our panel is currently SRA-regulated, specialises in employment law and settlement agreements, and maintains professional indemnity insurance. We review this regularly.
