Senior Executives Disputes
If you’re an employee facing a dispute, an employment settlement agreement can help you resolve issues with your employer in a pragmatic manner, avoiding the time, cost and stress associated with going to court. When relationships deteriorate, it’s important to get the right support behind you to ensure a fair and positive outcome.

As an employment lawyer, dealing with issues for both employers and employees allows me to consider both sides of the argument. I work closely with my clients’ HR departments, providing clear and timely advice from beginning to end. I like to take time to get to know my clients’ businesses as well as them as individuals.

Our experience
Negotiating a settlement agreement with your employer can help you reach an agreeable conclusion.
These agreements usually mean that an employee waives their rights in exchange for beneficial terms, such as a compensation payment.
Our expert employment lawyers will be by your side – providing advice, reassurance and understanding throughout the process. Taking time to understand your specific circumstances, we prioritise your objectives and work with you to negotiate an agreement which satisfies them. We identify any potential claims while providing commercial, realistic advice, and negotiating your package.
Working with you
Our team have worked with both individuals and businesses on settlement agreements – meaning we see and negotiate on both sides of the argument. We understand the complexities of a strained employment relationship and help you find a way forward that works for both parties.
We’ve worked with employees of all levels, from senior executives to those at the coalface. At a company level, we’ve worked with SMEs to internationals across industries as diverse as retail, health and beauty, and engineering.
You may have asked your employer for a settlement agreement, or you may be an employer looking for settlement advice. Whatever your circumstances, we’ll be by your side to make sure you get a fair outcome.
