What is a Settlement Agreement?
A settlement agreement (formerly known as a compromise agreement) in an employment law context is a legally binding contract between an employer and an employee. They are often used by employers to end the employment relationship on agreed terms.
It often includes:
- A financial package
- Waiver of legal claims
- Confidentiality clauses
- References for future employment
You are required by law to seek independent legal advice before signing. That’s where we come in.

WHO IS ALLAN ARGUE?
Argue & Co Legal was established in 2020 by Managing Partner, Allan Argue (pictured). Allan previously worked for one of Scotland’s leading personal injury and employment law specialists, and thereafter moved to one of the U.K’s largest personal injury firms; where he formed part of the firm’s Scottish Management Team.
In Allan’s opinion, big firms tend to have big running costs, which often means solicitors and fee earners have hundreds of clients and focus on statistics and fee targets. Allan’s vision for Argue & Co Legal is to establish a small firm, with small running costs and small client numbers; enabling the firm to focus on providing its clients with a first class service, as opposed to focusing on statistics and fee targets.
