Exit packages | Negotiating an exit package

If your employer has said it intends to hand you a settlement agreement or has already presented this to you, we can provide you with the independent legal advice that your employer will ask you to obtain. We will not charge you – your costs will be covered by your employer.

We provide clear and comprehensive advice about:

the legal claims your employer is asking you to waive
your legal options, and
the specific terms of the settlement agreement

If your decision is to enter into the settlement agreement then we will negotiate with the employer about:

the amount of the settlement offer, according to the claims you would be waiving
other protections, such as a non-derogatory comments clause, and
job reference

In some circumstances an employee can start a confidential discussion with their employer about exiting in a way that is beneficial to both sides. If you want assistance with this, or your issues at work are more complex, then we would be pleased to advise you.

Our advice extends nationally. We can deal with your case by telephone and email, or you can visit our central London offices. Contact us now on 020 3948 1900 for a Free Chat to find out more.
