Employee refusing legal advice on Settlement Agreement

Rachel McDonal

Hi All,

I am currently negotiating a settlement with an employee. The employee is happy to sign, however refuses to get any legal advice.

I have never been in this situation, and was wondering if anyone could give some advice on what to do next, and the legality of the agreement if signed without having received legal advice?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

  • Hi Rachel

    Settlement agreements are not legally effective unless the employee has received legal advice about it.

    What is your employees reason for refusing legal advice? Have they been offered a suitable amount to get legal advice?
