Severance arrangements cover ending an employment relationship through redundancy, exit packages, and negotiated settlements. It involves agreeing on terms for leaving, including final pay, accrued holiday, pensions, references, and any post-employment restrictions. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates settlement agreements, reviews the employer’s proposed terms, liaises with the human resources team, and ensures compliance with the Employment Rights Act and related employment standards. They may also advise on the implications of non-compete or confidentiality clauses and help protect the client’s statutory rights during the process.
The key risks are irreversible decisions about employment status and compensation, missing deadlines for accepting offers, and enforceability of settlement terms. A solicitor protects your position by negotiating terms, ensuring proper documentation, and confirming tax and pension implications within a regulated framework.

I have known Rachael for well over 15 years, and when I was recently made redundant, she was the first person I turned to for guidance. Facing a settlement agreement from my employer was stressful and unfamiliar territory, but Rachael stepped in with exactly the support I needed. She assisted me with the legal aspects of the settlement, ensuring I fully understood my rights and the implications of every detail. On several occasions, I needed to call her for clarification or reassurance, and each time she was consistently professional, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable. Rachael’s calm approach and expertise made a difficult situation far easier to navigate. Her support was invaluable, and she handled everything with the highest level of professionalism. Overall, Rachael is a credit to her profession — someone you can trust, rely on, and feel genuinely supported by during challenging times.
