Settlement Agreements
A settlement agreement is a document that agrees that you will sign away your rights to bring any form of claims against your employer in the future. It is prepared exclusively for your employers benefit despite anything that there may be in the agreement for you in terms of payment.
Because it is such a serious measure the law requires that you take legal advice on the agreement from and independent legal advisor. TM Law are independent legal advisors and can advise you on the effect and content of the agreement you are being asked to sign.
It is usual for your employer to pay the advisor for the advice and if this is not the case we will agree a fixed fee for the advice in advance with you.
The settlement agreements exclude all future claims you may have and therefore it is very important that you are advised properly by truly independent legal advisors
TM Law are very experienced in advising on settlement agreements and in the last year alone Terry Maylin of TM Law has advised on hundreds of settlement agreements where people have been given anything from £1,000 to £500,000 in payoffs by their employers.

Mr Maylin is absolutely fantastic, he knows what he is talking about as he is a specialist .I had a situation with a company that was using “sharpe sales tactics” firstly he managed to calm me down and gave me the correct advise on how to handle the company. I’m extremely glad I didn’t pay the company demanding money from me.
In the event you have an issue like mine then speak to Terry as he will know the solution. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm in the future.
