A settlement agreement was offered to the client to exit his employment following a dispute. He had already left and secured another role. When the settlement agreement was received the sums could not be negotiated but we were able to remove the warranty that he had not secured alternative employment without which he could not have signed the agreement. We also managed to get a waiver of the non-compete clause in his contract and an amendment to ensure that the overtaken holiday would not be deducted. There were also a series of other amendments agreed. The client did have to make a small contribution to legal fees of £250 plus VAT given the number of changes but without these he could not have signed the agreement and taken the deal.
