Mr H had been a previous client of Sarah’s so he did not come to her with a settlement agreement but for advice on how best to handle his exit and a review of his new terms and conditions of employment for a role he had secured.
Sarah gave advice on a strategic exit which resulted in a settlement agreement being offered by his existing employer.
He was paid his notice mostly as a payment in lieu meaning he was able to start sooner and also received a lump sum all without putting his new role at risk. Mr H managed by getting some strategic advice to secure a settlement agreement in circumstances where he would not otherwise have done so and transition between roles with a lump sum behind him.
