Moving employment is now more common and we recognise that the termination of employment is never easy. We help businesses and individuals to manage the transition with negotiated "clean break" arrangements. Examples of the work we do include;

• Helping businesses through the process of terminating employment, setting realistic strategies and minimising risk.
• Drafting and negotiating compromise agreements and other settlement arrangements including resolution of share and option arrangements;
• Considering and advising on the tax implications of severances.
• Settling contentious grievances and constructive dismissal allegations swiftly and with dignity.
• Helping businesses to spot the "danger signals" so that they can either curtail or be well positioned to deal with disputes.

Ensuring that settlement arrangements are confidential and, if necessary, with appropriate restrictions to protect the employer's business.
