Settlement agreement advice
Settlement Agreement Advice in West Sussex
West Sussex's economy is centred on Crawley and Gatwick Airport in the north of the county alongside coastal towns such as Worthing and Chichester further south, and settlement agreements here often follow an aviation, logistics or hospitality restructure. If you've been offered a settlement agreement by your employer in West Sussex, you're required by law to take independent legal advice before signing, and your employer will typically pay our fee. We advise West Sussex employees entirely by phone and video call, with same-day availability. We'll review the compensation offered, confirm the tax treatment, check any restrictive covenants, and make sure the terms reflect your actual employment status and length of service.
Your advice comes from an SRA-regulated solicitor at RGF Lawyers, named to you when your call is confirmed.
Which towns in West Sussex do you cover?
All of them. We do not have an office in West Sussex, or anywhere: advice is entirely by phone and video call, so where you work in the county does not affect how quickly we can review your agreement. Based on ONS Travel-to-Work-Area data (Office for National Statistics, pulled 2026-08-22), we advise employees across these areas:
- Crawley, Horsham
- Worthing
- Chichester, Bognor Regis
- Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill

Redundancy and settlement agreements in West Sussex
Most of the settlement agreements we see from West Sussex arise from redundancy or a negotiated exit, rather than a dispute. If your role in West Sussex is at risk, your employer will often offer a settlement agreement alongside, or instead of, a standard redundancy process. We advise employees only, never employers, and before you sign it is worth knowing your statutory floor and whether the offer is fair.

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."

Free Settlement Agreement Review for West Sussex Employees
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 employer near Gatwick Airport in West Sussex has offered a settlement agreement after a downturn in flight schedules. Does the reason for redundancy affect what I'm owed?
The commercial reason behind a redundancy, such as reduced flight schedules, doesn't change your statutory redundancy entitlement, though it can be relevant to whether a fair process was followed and whether any additional compensation on top of the statutory minimum is justified. We'll check both the figure and the process before advising on whether the offer is fair.
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 West Sussex 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.
