Advice on Acas settlement proposals and review of COT3 terms. A settlement reached through Acas conciliation can become binding once the final terms are agreed, before anything is signed. Take advice before you communicate final acceptance.
Acas conciliation is the route through which many employment disputes are settled, either before a claim is brought or after one has started. A conciliator passes proposals between you and your employer. If terms are agreed, they are recorded in a COT3.
Support at this stage usually involves:
Acas conciliation itself is free. Our fees relate to the review and advice work you separately agree with us.
Full details are on the COT3 Agreement Review page.

Belonge advises employees. We are not a firm of solicitors, we do not negotiate with your employer or Acas, and we do not represent you at a hearing. If you have already accepted terms, tell us when you make your request so the advice reflects that status.
Send your details and we will confirm the scope, then send a payment request.
