Why Executives Choose Us

Areas of Expertise

Q&A

1. I’m being asked to sign a settlement agreement. What should I do first?

Don’t sign anything without legal advice. At executive level, settlement terms can impact your bonus, shares, LTIPs, reputation, and future career moves. We review agreements quickly, advise you on your rights and leverage, and negotiate improvements where needed.

We are experienced in guiding senior executives in these area and will advise the best ways to maximise your exit package, while preservation relations and reputation.

2. Can I negotiate better terms when leaving a senior role?

Absolutely. Executive exits are generally a negotiation, and everyone will have different priorities, depending on their future plans. With the right approach, we often secure enhanced financial packages, extended notice periods, favourable announcements, and limitations on restrictive covenants.

3. What if I’m being forced out unfairly?

Senior exits are often dressed up as “mutual” when they’re anything but. If you’re being marginalised, sidelined, or pressured to resign, you may have claims for breach of contract, constructive dismissal. Early legal advice gives you the power to respond commercially, and be in the best position to secure a generous package.

4. Are restrictive covenants enforceable against executives?

They can be, especially at senior levels. But they’re not always drafted properly or reasonably. We will review your contract and advise whether your restrictions are likely to hold up, and whether they can be challenged, negotiated, or amended without breaching obligations.
