The pace at which an executive departs an organisation, compared with other employees, can be very fast. It can be unsettling, stressful and unfair (personality disputes dressed up as performance concerns etc). It is a time when you need clarity of thought and focused advice. It is also a time when you need your solicitor to be responsive. This is where we can help.
Whilst a settlement offer should reflect the potential legal claims that you may have, it should also reflect the commercial advantage of achieving an amicable and quick settlement.
We will provide you with sound strategic advice and assess the compensation that you are entitled to, including:
- pay for your notice period
- contractual benefits during the notice period, including pension contributions, life and health insurance and use of a company car
- compensation for waiving any potential claims you may have including unfair dismissal, discrimination and whistleblowing
- statutory and contractual redundancy pay
- bonus payments
- compensation for loss of share options
- accrued holiday pay
We will advise you on any restrictions there may be on your future activities from your employment contract and the settlement agreement.
We will help you achieve a dignified exit and we will assist you in negotiating the wording of announcements and references.
