Details of Fees for Settlement Agreements
Although your employer is not legally obliged to make a contribution to your legal costs for obtaining advice on a settlement agreement it is usual for them to do so, provided that you sign the agreement.
Your employer will insert a clause into the agreement specifying the amount of legal fees to be paid and this will depend on factors such as the length of the settlement agreement and its complexity. We have set out below the scale of fees generally paid by employers.
