Settlement Agreement

Straightforward. Supportive. Sorted.

Settlement agreements (formerly known as compromise agreements) are legally binding contracts used to resolve workplace disputes and bring employment to an end on agreed terms. They’re often used in redundancy situations, but they can also arise from disagreements, long-term sickness, or simply as a clean break that works for both parties.

At Darby & Darby, we help both employers and employees across South Devon negotiate and finalise settlement agreements with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re offering a settlement or being asked to sign one, we’ll guide you through the legal details, protect your interests, and make sure everything is fair, lawful and properly documented.

We offer fast turnaround, fixed-fee support for employees (often paid by the employer), and strategic advice for employers looking to minimise risk and avoid disputes.

Speak to Nick Rowe to discuss your situation and take the next step with confidence.
