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.
