Settlement Agreements

Reorganisations and changes in economic circumstances can lead to large scale redundancies. In such cases employers may want to offer enhanced redundancy terms which will typically be contingent on employees entering into a settlement agreement.
Our dedicated mass settlement agreement service in designed to ensure that employees receive the required independent legal advice in an efficient and cost-effective way.

At Herrington Carmichael we have the expertise and experience in assisting in mass settlement agreement projects working with the company to allow it to quickly and efficiently move through the project whilst always providing outstanding independent advice to the individual employees.

What do we do that makes the project so efficient?

There are a number of ways we make this process hassle free for the employer and the employees, including:

• Smooth onboarding of the employees as clients.
• Providing a dedicated and bespoke email address for quick and easy booking of appointments.
• Providing information sheets to employees at the outset of each project in order to address any common questions that may arise.
• A large and experienced team allowing us to work within tight timescales.
• Experience in holding group meetings with employees where appropriate followed by individual advice sessions to cover any specific questions.
• Reviewing and agreeing the terms of the template settlement agreement, insofar as is possible, prior to it being given the employees.
• Agreeing a transparent fee agreement.
• The ability to hold meetings on-site as well as remotely via phone or Teams.
• Providing regular updates in respect of the agreements which have been signed.
• Providing a single point of invoicing.

How does the pricing structure work?

With a group settlement a lot will depend on the size of the group. If you contact us, we will be able to provide competitive fixed rates which are agreed at the start.
