Senior Executives

As a senior level executive or professional, you may want and need employment law or professional discipline advice. This may be during your recruitment, for example to ensure the service agreement you negotiate is appropriate and reasonable; or during your employment, for example to plan the best exit strategy; or after you have left, for example to negotiate a positive settlement or to explore how litigation can achieve your goals.

Employment law can be complicated, notably at the senior level. Pay and bonus issues, restrictive covenants and becoming a director of a company can all come into consideration. In all cases, we can provide the expertise to achieve the best outcome for you.

Simon Whysall is a specialist in working with senior level executives across a broad range of sectors and has done so for over 25 years during which he has worked for the largest corporate, City based, law firms before co-founding this boutique employment specialist practice. As well as his deep knowledge of employment law, he is an experienced and skilled negotiator and a qualified mediator. His approach is to provide pragmatic, sensible and commercial advice, to achieve the best outcome for his clients, as expeditiously as possible.

Contentious and non-contentious matters on which Simon has recently advised senior level individuals include:

  • Negotiating senior executive exits and settlements
  • Advising on complex high value discrimination, victimisation and whistleblowing claims
  • Reviewing service agreements
  • Advising on restrictive covenants
  • Advising on bonus and incentive arrangements
  • Negotiating new terms of engagement
