Summary
Executive Exit, Strategy & Conflict Resolution
I manage executive exits where the legal, reputational, and personal stakes are high for C-suite, directors and senior executives. I take a select number of cases at any one time. I offer a discrete and supportive service where my clients welfare, excellent legal advice and strategic clarity are the priority.
I offer calm, focused legal advice on contractual and statutory employment rights and potential Employment Tribunal claims and insights for a future facing exit harnessing goodwill between the parties.
Together, we assess and manage risk, including:
• Breach of contract and fiduciary duties
• Post-termination restrictive covenants
• Confidentiality and reputation management
• Protections such as reciprocal, warranties, carve-outs, waivers, indemnities and insurance.
I strive to achieve outcomes that litigation rarely delivers.
Why Work With Me
I love a good compromise.
My background spans:
• Litigation and negotiated exits
• Mediation and conflict resolution
• High-stakes communication and negotiation
• Executive mentoring and performance under pressure
Clients value me for my care, competence with legal analysis and my unique lense on conflict.
I offer a same day settlement agreement service wihch means providing the required legal advice to employees and a legal advisers certificate to complete settlement agreements in accordance with s203 Employment Rights Act 1996 and on termination of employment.
A solicitor will provide independent legal advice. A solicitor ensures that employees fully understand their employment rights, potential claims and whether the offer is fair.
Solicitors can tailor settlement agreements to cover tax implications, confidentiality clauses, non derogatory clauses and post termination restrictove covenants ensuring lon gterm protection.
Reputation management is possible so that sensitive details are handled properly especially for senior employees and directors in service agreements.
A solicitor can ensure that the agreement is balanced in favour of the employee and covers and clean break arrangement.
Having a solicitor can level the playing field if the employer has in house legal teams or external solicitors.
Strategic guidance will be personal to the employee. If litigation is the best course of action a solicitor can advise on the best approach to that.
