Settlement agreement negotiations and senior executive exits

Settlement agreements

Approach

If you are faced by a situation where you wish to exit an employee, or even multiple employees, our nationally-recognised team advise and prepare settlement agreements that best protect your interest, your customers and your confidential information by binding the employee to enforceable conditions.

We can provide scripts for settlement discussions, advice on handling settlement negotiations and ensure that your settlement packages are structured as efficiently as possible.

If you have already agreed a settlement, we can also provide independent legal advice to affected employees to comply with the legal requirements of the agreement.

Where large scale redundancy and reorganisation exercises involving over 10 employees are required, we design, manage and implement bulk settlement agreement projects and act as independent advisors.
