How our employment lawyers in Reading can help you with a settlement agreement
Reviewing settlement agreements

Our employment lawyers in Reading can check a settlement agreement for you and advise on issues including:
- Whether any payment offered is fair
- How the terms of the agreement may affect you (e.g. if you are asked to agree restrictive covenants)
- If you should attempt to negotiate better terms
