Have you been offered a settlement agreement by your employer? At Kalra Legal Group, we specialise in providing expert legal advice to employees across the UK on reviewing, negotiating, and finalising settlement agreements.
Whether you’re facing redundancy, workplace disputes, or an unexpected termination, our specialist employment solicitors ensure your rights are protected, and you receive the compensation you deserve.
✅ What Is a Settlement Agreement?
A settlement agreement (formerly called a compromise agreement) is a legally binding contract between an employer and an employee that sets out the terms of ending your employment. These agreements are commonly used to resolve workplace disputes, redundancies, or dismissals in a mutually agreed way.
Kalra Legal Group helps employees fully understand what they’re agreeing to, ensuring the terms are fair, lawful, and financially beneficial.
📋 What’s Included in a Settlement Agreement?
When reviewing your agreement, we look at all key elements that impact your exit package and future employment:
-
Termination Payment / Ex Gratia Payment – Tax-free compensation (depending on terms).
-
Notice Pay – Paid or payment in lieu of notice (PILON), subject to tax.
-
Accrued Holiday Pay – Payment for unused holiday entitlement.
-
Confidentiality Clauses – Restrictions on sharing details post-employment.
-
Non-Compete / Restrictive Covenants – We assess if they are fair and enforceable.
-
References – We negotiate neutral or positive references where applicable.
-
Bonus, Benefits & Share Options – We ensure entitlements are included and valid.
-
Company Property – Clear terms for the return of work devices and data.
-
Reason for Termination – We work with you to ensure it’s correctly and neutrally presented.
🧑⚖️ Why You Need Independent Legal Advice
Under UK employment law, you must get independent legal advice for a settlement agreement to be valid. Without it, the agreement cannot be enforced.

-
Review your agreement quickly (same-day service available)
-
Explain your rights clearly and simply
-
Negotiate a better deal if needed
-
Ensure your employer covers our legal fees (in most cases)
We handle everything via phone, Zoom, or Teams – no need for in-person visits.
