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.

“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.”

“5 star experience with these guys. Only needed one long chat with Fiona C. and felt reassured I was in very capable & experienced hands at a time when I was not. Also many many emails from myself to Carmel K. she was very professional, friendly and patient with my responses/question as I can be abit verbose at times and flood people with alot of detail which she took in her stride and quick turn-around. Would highly recommend both & their practice given the standard of service I received. Tank you again.”
