Termination packages cover how an employer ends an employee relationship through severance, redundancy or negotiated settlement. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates terms of the exit, including settlement agreements, notice pay, garden leave, confidentiality, restrictive covenants and any post-termination commitments. They gather and verify documentation, advise on legal rights under the Employment Rights Act 1996, and negotiate with the employer or their HR and legal team, aiming for a clear, enforceable package.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The specific package terms determine the client’s post-employment position: whether payments meet tax and pension needs, the impact of any restrictive covenants, and the ability to pursue future claims. A regulated solicitor provides protective client accounts, professional indemnity coverage and adherence to conduct rules, ensuring the agreement is enforceable and properly executed.
