A severance agreement (often called a compromise agreement) covers ending an employment relationship on agreed terms, including a financial settlement and waiving claims. A solicitor helps by drafting and negotiating the document, checking that the terms are fair, identifying any post‑termination obligations, and ensuring the client understands what is being waived. They advise on minimum statutory protections, reference checks, and any garden leave, garden leave, or restrictive covenants, and prepare any supporting documentation for a clean exit.

Works with Jayne Harrison and 4 more
“I got intouch with Richard Nelson's after needing help with a contract regarding mutually agreed redundancy, but due to the contract not containing the correct information by the time I got the correct version I only had two days left before it had to be signed and returned. I rang and was assured that someone would be able to help me, I was give an appointment for the next day and met Jayne Harrison, she was brilliant! She read through the contents with me pointing out several mistakes, she got straight in touch with my employer and got them amended . I have one last part to complete in January. I am so glad that I chose Richard Nelson's as after much stress they dealt with my situation extremely quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing any legal advice. ”

What Severance Agreement 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. ”
