Why should I speak with a solicitor before signing?
A solicitor will ensure that the terms are fair and that you understand the rights that you are waiving.
As you are waiving the right to bring future claims against your employer, your solicitor will evaluate and ensure that no valuable claims are unintentionally surrendered.
If the initial financial offer is insufficient or if restrictive post-employment covenants and confidentiality clauses are unreasonable, a solicitor can help you negotiate those terms.
Speaking with a solicitor is imperative when you are considering signing a settlement agreement, not only because it is the law, but also because it protects your best interests.
