Employment Law Advice for Senior Executives and Individuals
Strategic, practical employment law advice for senior executives and individuals on workplace disputes, contracts, restrictive covenants, negotiated exits and other employment issues, drawing on almost 30 years’ experience.
Workplace Disputes and Employment Issues
Advice on difficult workplace situations, including disciplinary and grievance matters, performance issues, discrimination, whistleblowing and disputes with employers. I provide clear, strategic advice on the options available, the risks involved and the best way to protect your position.
Contracts and Restrictive Covenants
Advice on employment contracts and senior executive service agreements, including notice provisions, bonus and commission arrangements, confidentiality, post-termination restrictions and restrictive covenants. I also advise on the enforceability and practical implications of restrictions when joining or leaving a business.
Negotiated Exits and Severance
Strategic advice where an employment relationship is coming to an end, including negotiating exit terms, severance packages and the financial and non-financial terms of departure. I can advise on the appropriate negotiating strategy and, where required, negotiate directly with the employer or its solicitors.
NED and Consultancy Arrangements
Advice on non-executive director and consultancy arrangements, including the terms of appointment, remuneration, termination provisions, confidentiality and restrictive covenants, and the employment status issues that can arise from these arrangements including IR35.
Experienced, Strategic Advice
Almost 30 years’ experience advising senior executives and individuals on complex employment issues. My approach is to understand what you want to achieve, assess the legal and commercial position and provide clear, practical advice on the best way forward.
