Independent Legal Advice Solicitors in Brighton and Hove

Signing a contract or agreement comes with a wide variety of risks if you aren’t entirely sure what you are signing. Once you sign the document, you are then legally bound by the terms and conditions of it. Unknowingly agreeing to something can put you at risk of future problems or actions against you. We advise that you always seek professional legal advice as it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Our expert solicitors in Brighton and Hove will ensure you fully understand the contents of the document you are signing. You’ll understand exactly what’s fair and minimise future surprises.

 Our expertise covers:

Settlement Agreements

Settlement agreements are commonly used to end a contract of employment. An example is when somebody is made redundant. It’s imperative when being given a settlement agreement that you seek independent legal advice to ensure you’re not being unfairly dismissed and that you understand your rights. Our solicitors will ensure you have the best future re-employment potential and receive an appropriate redundancy package.

Employment Contract Reviews

When offered a contract for a new job, it can be exciting and result in you wanting to sign right away. However, if your role is extremely specialist or the contract contains unusual terms, we advise that you seek independent legal advice. This will ensure you understand both you and your employer’s obligations under the contract. As a result, you can clear your mind and focus on the job at hand and make a good impression.

Commercial Contract Reviews

When getting a contract for a commercial agreement, it can be daunting as you want to make sure it favours the interests of your business but protects you should things go wrong. We advise that you seek legal advice as there are a variety of commercial contracts, such as a supply contract or trading documentation, that have specific conditions to each case. Our expert solicitors will ensure that your agreement is fair, protects you if a dispute arises and provides you with a strong future trading relationship.

Mortgage Agreements

Applying for a mortgage requires you to produce a certificate signed by a solicitor to prove you fully understand the terms and conditions of the various different documents. Our expert solicitors will go through whichever forms you need in precise detail, so you completely understand what’s required from you regarding factors such as repayments. As a result, we can help you avert potentially undesirable effects.

Loan Agreements

Loan agreements can involve a wide variety of complex financial arrangements between a lender and borrower. From revolving credit agreements to bridge loans, there are many terms that everyday people are not familiar with. Our expert solicitors will assure that you fully understand the conditions and any interest attached to your financing agreement. You can rest assured that you’re making an informed decision on whether or not to accept the loan.
