Our team provides strategic and clear, practical advice and support at all stages, including working with you to mitigate risks and achieve your objectives.
We have extensive experience in drafting and negotiating the terms of settlement agreements, working closely with you to ensure they balance business needs with a commercial outcome. We also advise on wider issues which may arise in relation to director and shareholder departures, including tax, immigration, long term incentive plans and other equity issues.
Our experience includes
- Advising the UK subsidiary of a Hong Kong-based company on the new CEO’s complex services agreement and remuneration, and later providing urgent advice on the CEO's dismissal.
- Advising an engineering company on the exit of the managing director of a subsidiary, who was suspected of fraud and bribery. We guided the disciplinary investigation, secured the managing director's exit under a settlement agreement without notice or termination payment, and advised on potential recovery of losses.
- Advising the owner of several international fashion and luxury brands on the contentious exit of its UK CEO.
