Smart. Strategic. Professional.
At Torque Law, we’re experienced in advising high-profile CEOs, Managing Directors, and other board level senior executives on the full spectrum of employment law issues – from complex contract negotiations to workplace disputes and high-value exit packages.
Our clients trust us because we combine City-calibre expertise with a personal, strategic approach. We understand the pressures of senior leadership, the reputational risks involved, and the need for absolute discretion.
Whether you’re stepping into a new role or preparing for a well-negotiated exit, our specialist employment lawyers will protect your interests and secure the best outcomes for you, both personally and professionally.
“Torque Law definitely exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others. The team’s ability to translate my concerns with my employer into killer points that got results was first class.”

On Entry: Expert Contract & Post-Termination Restrictions Advice
Before you sign, we’ll conduct a thorough review of your service agreement/employment contract, ensuring every clause reflects your value and protects your future. We’ll give you an informed view on whether the terms are reasonable and identify any potential gaps or omissions in the package offered, including clear advice on:
- Remuneration and bonus structures
- Likely enforceability of post-termination restrictions
- Director duties and fiduciary responsibilities
- Negotiating more favourable terms
Whether you’re negotiating a board appointment or transitioning between leadership roles, we’ll identify risks and highlight opportunities others might miss, providing the insight and leverage you need to start on the strongest footing.
On Exit: Settlement Agreement & Negotiation Specialists
When it’s time to leave, it’s vital to have an experienced senior executive employment lawyer who understands how to negotiate complex departures, not just sign off your Settlement Agreement. We will guide you through the negotiation process, managing strategy and advising on tactics, to secure the best financial and reputational outcome. Our team has extensive experience of advising on:
- Complex severance packages
- Bonus, pension and share option entitlements
- Confidentiality and post-termination restrictions, including non-compete clauses
- Reputation and communication strategy
We’ll devise creative solutions to help you achieve your aims and protect your reputation. Whether your priority is maximising your financial package or positioning yourself for your next move, we’ll get you the best possible results with clarity and discretion.
Disputes: Protecting You & Your Reputation
Sometimes, even the most senior relationships break down. When they do, early, expert advice is critical. Torque Law will act swiftly and strategically to protect your interests and preserve your reputation.
We regularly represent c-suite executives and senior professionals in:
- Contract, bonus and incentive disputes
- Restrictive covenant disputes at the pre-action stage
- Employment Tribunal claims.
Where possible, we resolve matters confidentially and without litigation. But if a dispute escalates, we have the experience and tenacity to represent you effectively in the Employment Tribunal or, where necessary, work collaboratively with exceptional High Court litigation specialists to ensure the most robust representation.
