Settlement Agreement Advice in Gloucester
If your employer in Gloucester has offered you a settlement agreement, independent legal advice from a relevant independent adviser such as a solicitor is a legal requirement before you can sign. With a population of around 134,400 (ONS Census 2021 built-up-area population), Gloucester sits in Gloucestershire. Health and social care employs 22.2% of Gloucester's workforce, well above the 13.8% England average, and public administration and defence adds a further 8.7%, nearly double the 4.5% national share (ONS Business Register and Employment Survey, 2024; employee jobs, excluding the self-employed). Public-sector and NHS settlement agreements around Gloucester tend to follow structured internal policies, and we check those have actually been applied to your case rather than assuming the standard figure is automatically correct. Advice is delivered by phone and video call, and we typically turn a case around the same day. In most cases, your employer covers our fee under the agreement itself.
Employment lawyers in Gloucester: settlement-agreement specialists
If you are looking for an employment lawyer in Gloucester because you have been offered a settlement agreement, you are in the right place. RGF Lawyers focuses only on settlement agreements. We do not take ongoing employment-law representation, tribunal-only cases, or no-win-no-fee work. If those are what you need, our colleague firms can refer you on. For settlement-agreement review and negotiation in Gloucester or anywhere across Gloucestershire, we are SRA-regulated, fully remote, and your employer normally pays our fee.
Redundancy and settlement agreements in Gloucester
Most of the settlement agreements we see from Gloucester arise from redundancy or a negotiated exit, rather than a dispute. If your role in Gloucester or the wider Gloucestershire area is at risk, your employer will often offer a settlement agreement alongside, or instead of, a standard redundancy process, usually with an enhanced payment in return for waiving your claims. We advise employees only, never employers, and before you sign it is worth knowing your statutory floor and whether the offer is fair.
Start with our redundancy pay calculator to work out your statutory entitlement, then read facing redundancy, start here. We also cover the wider Gloucestershire area. When you are ready, we will review your Gloucester settlement agreement the same working day and tell you honestly whether to sign or negotiate.
Do you need a solicitor near you?
Not for this. Settlement agreement advice does not require an in-person meeting: we work with Gloucester employees entirely by phone and video call, across England and Wales, and the certificate confirming you have had independent legal advice is signed electronically. That means the same solicitor, the same process and the same same-day turnaround, whether you are in Gloucester or anywhere else in the country.

What Our Clients Say
"Sarah supported me through an incredibly difficult and emotional employment dispute with clarity, professionalism, and genuine care. What really stood out was how reassured I felt throughout. Even during moments of uncertainty, I knew I was in safe hands."
Rachel M.
Verified client review, January 2026
"She was incredibly thorough, taking the time to explain each clause clearly. Despite the level of detail and care, she worked very efficiently and achieved a quick turnaround, getting the documents reviewed and signed off without delay."
James P.
Verified client review, April 2025
"I used Sarah Wilkinson to review what should have been a straightforward settlement agreement with a less than 24 hour turnaround (which was achieved) but turned into 2 weeks of back and forth with my employer and their solicitor. Throughout the whole process, I truly felt like Sarah 'had my back'; she was not only professional but also a decent human being who wouldn't tolerate injustice or unfairness. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah."
S. L.

No Hidden Costs. No Nasty Surprises.
For Standard Agreements(Free to You)
Your employer pays our fee directly. This is written into most settlement agreements under the 'legal fees' clause. You pay nothing.

to you
For Negotiated Agreements
If we think you can do better, we'll negotiate on your behalf, aiming to increase your payout and remove potentially harmful clauses like non-competes. We'll discuss fees upfront before any work begins. We will always seek a contribution to costs from your employer.
Discussed upfront
no surprises
The Small Print:
Our review is free to you where your employer's contribution covers our fee. Nearly every settlement agreement includes one, because the law requires you to take independent legal advice before signing. If yours doesn't, we'll tell you upfront in our initial review (which is free).
No upfront costs. We'll confirm everything before starting, or call 0330 043 3008 to talk it through.
Common Questions
My Gloucester employer is a public body and quoted me a fixed settlement figure with no room for discussion. Is that normal?
Public-sector employers do often work from published pay scales and standard redundancy formulas, but that doesn't mean the figure is beyond question. We check the formula has been applied correctly to your actual service and pay, and whether any additional compensation for the manner of your departure should be on the table.
How can this be free? What's the catch?
There's no catch. By law, your employer must contribute towards your legal fees when offering a settlement agreement. We receive our fee directly from your employer under the 'legal fees' clause. You pay nothing for a standard review.
Can I trust advice that's this fast?
Yes. We're specialists. We focus exclusively on settlement agreements. This means we can provide thorough, accurate advice efficiently. Quality is never compromised.
What if I want to negotiate a better offer?
We'll tell you honestly if we think negotiation is worth it. Every case is different. Sometimes the terms offered are fair and we'll confirm that. In other cases, we'll recommend negotiating for improved terms.
Do I have to come to your office?
No. We advise Gloucester clients entirely by phone and video call. No office visit required. Everything is handled remotely, including electronic signatures.
What if my employer doesn't pay your fee?
Rare, but it happens. If your agreement doesn't include a legal fees clause, we'll quote you upfront before starting work. No surprises.
