Understanding the cost of getting advice on your settlement agreement is crucial, and that’s why we’re happy to be transparent about our prices, including free advice in an initial conversation and a fixed fee for formal advice. At Mason Bullock Solicitors, we demystify the process, ensuring you’re fully informed every step of the way.

- Share your circumstances and receive tailored advice on your next steps.
- Evaluate the fairness of your settlement offer
- Discuss whether you’re being treated fairly in accordance with the ACAS Code of Practice on Settlement Agreements.
- Discover how our dedicated solicitors can champion your best interests.
This no-obligation conversation is designed to help you clearly understand your position and how we can assist, all at no cost to you.
Fixed Fee Settlement Agreement Advice – £500 + VAT
For a standard fixed fee of £500 (+ VAT, charged at 20%), we provide:
- In-depth analysis of your settlement agreement’s terms and implications.
- Expert evaluation of the offer’s fairness and negotiation potential.
- Insight into tax considerations to maximise your settlement’s efficiency.
We’re here to address any queries, ensuring you’re fully informed and confident in your decisions.
Do Employers Pay for Settlement Agreement Legal Advice?
It’s common for settlement agreements to include a clause for employer contributions towards your legal fees. This often covers our standard fixed fee, making our expert advice effectively cost-free to you. Should there be a shortfall, we’ll guide you on negotiating an increase with your employer to potentially offset additional costs.
Tailored Negotiation Strategies for a Better Settlement
Whether negotiating directly or through us, our goal is to secure the best possible outcome for you. Our approach varies based on your unique situation:
- Direct Negotiations: With our behind-the-scenes guidance, you can negotiate effectively while maintaining a positive employer relationship, without additional fees.
- Solicitor-Led Negotiations: For more complex scenarios, our solicitors are ready to take the lead. We’ll discuss any potential fee adjustments upfront, ensuring transparency.
