“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 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.

 

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 restrictive covenants
• 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.

 

Disputes: Protecting You & Your Reputation

Sometimes, even the most senior relationships break down. When they do, early, expert advice is critical. We 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 issues
• 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 litigation specialists to ensure the most robust representation.
