The client sought advice as he had been subject to a protracted investigation into alleged misconduct which had dragged on for months and which he believed he was innocent. The client had less than two years service. With our advice and assistance the client was able to negotiate direct to secure his notice pay in lieu and a termination payment. In addition, following advice Sarah was able to secure a number of changes to the agreement including a withdrawal of the allegations, a reference, relaxation of the restrictive covenants post termination and removal of the clause that he would provide assistance after termination for expenses. The client was not charged anything beyond the initial contribution to legal fees from the employer.
