Executive Severance

It’s never pleasant when an employment relationship ends.

At Muckle LLP, we have experience in advising both employers and senior executives on the issues surrounding the termination of their relationship. Our team knows what is needed to advise effectively in this area – commerciality, clarity and a tactical appreciation of risk.

Here’s how we can help

We regularly advise on extensive termination agreements including the consideration of tax efficiency, directorship, share and pensions issues.

We are recognised for our strength on the enforceability of post-termination restrictions and the protection of confidential information, which can be of key importance in terms of protecting an employer's interests as part of any termination agreement.

On occasion, we realise that the best option may be to proceed to deal with matters by way of employment tribunal proceedings and not be forced into an unsuitable negotiated outcome.

We have the skills and experience to take you through this process with pragmatism and tact.
