This area covers the end of an employment relationship, including exit negotiations and the terms of leaving the employer on agreed conditions. A solicitor in separation helps you understand and negotiate a settlement or compromise package, including any garden leave, references, confidentiality and non-solicitation provisions. They draft, review and finalise the deal to protect your rights and ensure the terms are clear and enforceable. They also advise on any post‑employment obligations and tax implications that arise from the exit.

Tim Edgeley
Partner in Employment Law
“I would like to share the experience I have received from Poole Alcock LLP in supporting me with a settlement agreement. I found the team extremely knowledgeable and were able to ensure I was placed in the strongest position possible, during what has been a distressing episode. They kept in touch with me constantly to let me know how things were progressing and made it very easy for me to submit information to them. They kept pressure on the company concerned and pointed out where some of the process was not being carried out in a fair way. The legal team managed to push this agreement over the line withing 5 days. I would highly recommend their services.”

“I came to Slater Heelies after a disaster with previous solicitor. Alex from the onset was friendly, reassuring, professional but firm. Many times she had to challenge my perspectives and encouraged strength. Alex had an objective approach and was always quick and prompt in replying to emails and calls. Her in depth knowledge was reassuring and was able to relay in a succinct manner that was easy to digest. I felt with Alex’s friendly manner that she always had my best interests at the heart and was extremely reassuring during the whole process which was really appreciated. I would have no hesitation in using her again… but at the same time hope that there would never be a need. Thank you ”

“I highly recommend Patrick Macken at Richard Nelson LLP. He was exceptionally professional, highly responsive, and took the time to explain all of my strategic options with immense patience during a very stressful transition. While the final outcome was ultimately bounded by the employer's rigid tactics and the strict confines of employment law, this was no reflection on Patrick’s ability. He is an outstanding advocate who fights hard for his clients, and I am incredibly grateful for his support.”
