Settlement & Negotiation
Negotiate from a position of strength
Structured, without-prejudice exit or settlement positioning for clients who wish to explore a negotiated outcome rather than continue to a hearing — built on the procedural leverage your case holds.
Why it works
What this gives you
Leverage, quantified
Settlement value follows risk. We assess the procedural breaches, evidential weaknesses and claim exposure in your case and convert them into a negotiating position.
Without prejudice, done properly
Protected conversations and without-prejudice proposals have rules. We frame the approach so nothing you say weakens your position if negotiation fails.
A written strategy you keep
Positioning, talking points, timing and escalation options — issued to you as a written strategy document.
Exit on your terms
For many clients the goal is not the hearing — it is leaving with reference, notice and settlement terms intact. We build the route to that outcome.
Scope, in writing

Transparent fees
What it costs
A single fixed fee of £395 for all salary bands. No VAT is charged.
How salary-banded fees work
Fees are scaled to your gross annual salary — Band A (under £30,000), Band B (£30,000–£39,999), Band C (£40,000–£59,999), Band D (£60,000–£79,999) and Band E (£80,000+). Your exact fixed fee is confirmed in your Engagement Letter before any work begins. We are not VAT registered, so no VAT is added: the fee quoted is the fee you pay.
Questions, answered plainly
Frequently asked questions
When trust is gone, when the evidence is finely balanced, or when the working relationship is not worth saving. A negotiated exit converts uncertainty into agreed terms — but only from a position of prepared strength.
Not unless and until the approach is made — and the strategy covers exactly how and when to make it, keeping the without-prejudice protection intact.
For a statutory settlement agreement to bind, you must receive advice on its terms from a relevant independent adviser. We prepare the position and the negotiation; the final agreement is signed off through that adviser — usually funded by your employer's contribution.
Nothing is lost. The without-prejudice framework means the discussion cannot be used against you, and the defence and tribunal routes remain fully open.
