How We Can Help
Sometimes employment relationships break down or run their course. Rather than pursuing acrimonious proceedings that can be stressful for all involved, the parties choose to enter into agreed settlement terms to deal with an employee’s departure amicably and professionally.
There are a number of situations where you may consider offering a settlement agreement to an employee to include as an alternative to a formal process such as redundancy, performance management, and disciplinary, or to settle tribunal claims (actual or threatened).
Settlement agreements can provide the benefit of a clean break for both parties and the peace of mind that you will not become embroiled in tribunal proceedings.
Our solicitors can provide advice and guidance on:
- Instigating settlement discussions
- Preparing settlement offers
- Preparing tailored settlement agreements (to meet the needs of your business and statutory requirements for a valid waiver of claims)
- Negotiating settlement agreements
- Structuring severance payments to ensure compliance with the law
- Complex cases involving senior executive exits
- Matters involving share sales and option schemes
