Being offered a settlement agreement to leave your job can be a difficult experience. Whether this is due to redundancy or for another reason, it is often an uncertain time, and you are likely to have many questions. We are here to help you through it.
Our Next Steps service provides you with expert advice from one of our specialist workplace lawyers on the terms and effects of your employer’s proposed agreement. In most cases, our fee is covered by your employer, so there will be no cost to you.
Our Next Steps service includes a review of your employment contract, draft settlement agreement and any cover letter; a call to explain the terms of the agreement and answer any questions you may have; preparing one email to your employer requesting any changes you would like; reviewing a revised version of the agreement; and providing the legal adviser’s certificate.
This service is suitable if you are content with the commercial terms of the proposed agreement, and want to exit the business as well as possible. It does not include advice on tax, share options, other equity issues, or detailed restrictive covenants. If you need more detailed advice or representation, our experienced Workplace team is also on hand to provide this.
