What happens if I do not get legal advice?

The implications for the employee would be negligible if advice was not obtained and they would still be entitled to any payments/benefits that the agreement provided.

However, it is unlikely that an employer would be willing to waive the requirement as, in effect, it would not be able to rely on the settlement of the potential claims against it. On that basis, it is likely to make the receipt of legal advice a condition of the agreement.
