The Intake Problem

Why standard legal marketing wastes your fee earners’ billable hours

Acquiring employment clients through digital advertising or generic lead brokers creates substantial non-billable overhead. SettlementCheck solves each bottleneck deterministically.

PROBLEM 01

Unqualified Initial Enquiries

30 to 45-minute unbillable calls with callers who do not have an active settlement offer, lack qualifying employment service, or have no funding for private fees.

✓Pre-Filtered Statutory Floor

Every SettlementCheck instruction holds an active settlement offer with continuous service and statutory floor verified under the Employment Rights Act 1996.

PROBLEM 02

The Time-Consuming Intake Interview

Fee earners spending valuable billable time extracting baseline figures: gross salary, notice pay, accrued holiday, and statutory redundancy caps.

✓Full Data Payload on Arrival

Your team receives a completed statutory dossier, separating contractual PILON from tax-exempt termination compensation before picking up the phone.

PROBLEM 03

High Client Acquisition Costs (CAC)

Between digital advertising spend, agency retainers, and low conversion rates on cold web traffic, acquiring a signed settlement agreement matter often costs hundreds of pounds in marketing overhead.

✓Zero-Retainer Partner Model

No marketing agency retainers, ad budget volatility, or wasted clicks. Join an accredited SRA panel with zero upfront subscription fees and terms tailored on onboarding.

PROBLEM 04

Shared Lead Brokers & Fast Sprints

Lead brokers selling the identical enquiry to multiple local law firms simultaneously, creating an undignified race to contact the client first.

✓100% Territorial Exclusivity

Strict 1:1 matching. Once an employee in your agreed coverage area requests independent advice, the mandate belongs solely to your firm.

The Data Advantage

Inspect the exact payload your fee earners receive

Your effort to extract numbers is reduced to zero. Every instruction arrives with calculated statutory minimums under the Employment Rights Act 1996 and tax treatment under ITEPA 2003.

Response Protocol

Prompt response standards that protect client momentum

When an employee receives a settlement agreement, they often face a strict 7 to 14 day deadline to obtain independent legal advice under Section 203.

We route instructions to one partner firm at a time. Partner firms commit to initiating contact on the same business day (or within 24 hours), ensuring employees receive timely advice while their agreement window is open.

✓
Strict 1:1 Routing: No shared leads. You are not competing against multiple other law firms for the same matter.
✓
Pre-Informed Clients: Clients arrive having calculated their statutory entitlement and reviewed standard employer fee contribution practices.
✓
Direct CRM / Webhook Push: Introductions delivered instantly via encrypted email or straight into your practice management CRM.

Clear Answers

Frequently Asked Questions by Partner Firms

Objective commercial and regulatory details for fee earners and managing partners.

How does legal fee settlement work under Section 203?+

Under Section 203 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, an employee settlement agreement is only legally binding if the employee receives advice from an independent qualified adviser. UK employers universally cover this cost, typically contributing between £500 and £1,500 + VAT directly to your firm upon receipt of your adviser certificate and invoice.

Are introductions strictly exclusive to our firm?+

Yes. We do not operate a shared lead broker model. When an employee in your agreed coverage area requests independent legal advice, their complete statutory file is dispatched exclusively to your firm. It is never sent to competing practices.

How are employee contact details and offers verified?+

Every employee must pass two-factor OTP verification on their email and phone before requesting a solicitor match. Furthermore, they must enter their salary, tenure, reason for exit, and existing settlement offer into our calculator, ensuring you receive qualified matters rather than speculative enquiries.

What happens if a contact is unreachable?+

Every employee contact is verified via two-factor OTP (email and phone). If an introduced employee has invalid contact details or does not respond within 48 hours of initial outreach, we credit that introduction back to your account immediately with zero dispute.

Are there monthly subscription fees or long-term commitments?+

No. There are zero software fees, no monthly retainers, and no minimum term contracts. Bespoke commercial terms and territorial allocation are agreed during onboarding, and you can pause or adjust your territory radius at any time.

What are the regulatory requirements to join the panel?+

You must be an active law firm regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in England & Wales with specialist employment law practitioners and valid professional indemnity insurance.
