Developing an exit strategy from your employee can be a highly stressful and complex event, often involving sensitive negotiation, clarity on exactly what is being offered in relation to share plans, bonuses, pension entitlements and post termination restrictions.

Garden leave, handovers, internal and external announcements may also be issues for negotiation and therefore it is important to obtain expert advice on all of these issues to ensure that an exit is both beneficial to yourself and agreeable by your employer.

As solicitors based outside of the City and major capitals, we are best placed to ensure independence and bespoke advice relating to your situation. With decades of experience in dealing with settlement agreements and exit negotiations, we will ensure that your exit leaves you in the best financial situation possible.
