Frequently asked questions
How much does independent legal advice on a settlement agreement cost in Ireland?
The price of this self-complete template is shown at the top of this page. You pay once and there are no further charges from us. The price covers the template and guidance notes only — it does not include legal advice or review by a solicitor.
Why do I need independent legal advice before signing a settlement agreement?
A settlement agreement usually asks you to give up potential employment claims. Independent legal advice is generally needed for such a waiver to be effective, and it helps make sure you understand what you are giving up.
Are non-compete clauses enforceable in Ireland?
They can be, if they are reasonable in scope, duration and area and protect a legitimate business interest. The pack includes advice on whether your restrictions are likely to be enforceable.
