Jarred advises employees at every stage of a settlement agreement, from the first offer to the final signature. He reviews the terms an employer proposes, explains their effect and identifies where they could be improved, including the compensation on offer, notice and holiday pay, the tax treatment of payments, agreed references, confidentiality clauses and restrictions on future work.
He also negotiates with employers and their solicitors on behalf of his clients, including on redundancy and exit packages.
Jarred studied law at Lancaster University and completed his professional training at the College of Law in London. He trained at Horwich Farrelly and qualified as a solicitor in March 2005.
His career has been spent largely in litigation, at national firms including Weightmans, Berrymans Lace Mawer, Keoghs and DAC Beachcroft, where he was a Senior Solicitor and Technical Quality Manager. He handled complex claims for breach of contract and negligence, including group actions involving many claimants, and represented clients at hearings before District and Circuit Judges. He later worked as a consultant solicitor with Nexa Law before joining Settlement Agreement Solicitors in 2021.
Jarred's first aim is to understand what each client wants to achieve, whether that is a better payment, a fair reference or simply certainty about what they are signing. Having spent most of his career running legal claims, he understands how employers and their advisers weigh up risk, and he uses that insight to judge what is realistic to ask for and when it is worth negotiating.
His approach is calm and direct. He explains each clause in plain English, never rushes a decision and keeps clients informed at every stage. In their Trustpilot reviews, clients describe him as patient, clear and reassuring.
As the firm's Compliance Officer for Legal Practice (COLP) and Compliance Officer for Finance and Administration (COFA), Jarred is responsible for ensuring that Settlement Agreement Solicitors meets the standards of the Solicitors Regulation Authority. He also reviews the employment law guides published on this website.
Outside of work, Jarred is a keen football fan, though he would rather visit lower-league grounds across England and Scotland than watch the Premier League. He also loves a car boot sale, and enjoys film, dining out and nature walks with his beloved golden retriever, Jackson.

Recently used the team at Settlement Agreement Solicitors to deal with my SA. Very professional and took over all communications for me. Very quick turnaround from point of contact, any delays were from the other side, with Jarred regularly chasing and updating. Highly recommend this company.
