Settlement agreement advice
in Aberdeen
At Just Employment Law, we represent employers who need help drafting and finessing settlement agreements, ensuring that the underlying agreement is fair for both parties and, crucially, that the organisation remains as unscathed as possible.
Every one of our solicitors is an expert on settlement agreements.
The day that a business owner becomes an employer is one embedded with decisions to make, situations to manage, and challenges to overcome. Employing individuals to work with you on your business venture is thrilling and brings with it a world of possibility, but it can also be overwhelming.
Never is this truer than when dealing with a dispute, disciplinary, or a round of redundancies, that require negotiations and compromises to be made.
At Just Employment Law, our business involves working with employers across Aberdeen through hands-on support, advice, and representation across a range of legal cases and needs. From standalone and PAYG services, to our annual retainer package, employers can work with us in a range of different ways.
One of our popular services is settlement agreement support with the costs of this included in our annual retainer package.
What do settlement agreement services involve?
Settlement agreements in Aberdeen involve the contractual agreement made between an employer and an employee, following a dispute. This dispute could be the result of disciplinary action, the fallout from redundancies at the company, or the result of a claim or complaint filed by the employee.
As the employer, your job is to facilitate negotiations and draw up a contract which underlies the compromise reached on both sides. The challenges come when this process is marred by potential damage to the company reputation – which is where we come in.
By advising, drafting, and representing the employer in a settlement agreement case, we take proactive steps that progress the case towards a fair conclusion, while protecting the business internally and externally. We will often represent the employer and speak on their behalf, becoming an extension of the company while also drafting the relevant documentation.

The benefit of an employment lawyer partnership
While some companies in Aberdeen and beyond choose to keep their legal representation inhouse, the demand for external employment lawyers is on the rise.
This rise in popularity is enhanced by service packages like our annual retainer, that provides unlimited legal support for a set yearly fee, as well as access to PAYG services as and when they are needed. With settlement agreements notoriously complex to navigate, working with an experienced legal team is often considered a wise investment.
And if you’re worried about bringing in external providers who don’t care about your business, then you couldn’t be more wrong! At Just Employment Law, we become an extension of every client and business we work with, embodying their values and representing them to the best of our ability.
