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.

Your solicitor
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 can highly recommend George Cokkinos at Rothera Bray for advice on a settlement agreement. George took the time to fully understand my situation before giving clear and appropriate advice. He was transparent on fees, kept me updated throughout and handled correspondence with my former employer efficiently. The outcome was positive and the process felt well managed from start to finish.”

Works with Laura Kearsley and 3 more
“Having used Nelsons before and particularly Laura Kersley, there was no question that I would contact her again when I needed advice and support regarding an employment matter. As I expected both Laura and Zara were kind, listened to me, were supportive, knowledgeable, informative and to the point, which I valued. They were effective and efficient in providing me with the information and advice I needed to make an informed decision relating to my case.”

Jason Pradhan
Associate Solicitor
“Jason provided excellent support during a very stressful employment matter. His advice was clear, practical and strategic, and his guidance on the legal position and negotiation approach was instrumental in helping me achieve the outcome I did. He quickly helped me understand the options open to me, explained the risks in a way that was easy to understand, and helped me approach the process with much more confidence. I really appreciated not only his technical knowledge, but also his calm, thoughtful and human approach throughout. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone dealing with an employment dispute, especially if they need clear advice, strong strategy and practical judgement.”

What Separation clients highlight
“Great service form start to finish. With the help from Hannah Ross and Sarah Sowden, they managed maternity cover and a very tricky and slow opposition. All whilst being considerate of my incurring costs and an emotional and stressful situation. For me however, it's always the human approach they take and for this, I'd happily always recommend to anyone and everyone. ”
