Can You Negotiate a Settlement Agreement?
Leaving a senior leadership position is rarely straightforward.
Whether you are a CEO, Managing Director, Finance Director, HR Director, General Counsel or another senior executive, your settlement agreement is likely to be considerably more involved than is often the case for most employees.
Executive settlement agreements frequently include:
- Enhanced compensation packages
- Annual and discretionary bonuses
- Long-Term Incentive Plans (LTIPs)
- Share options
- Restrictive covenants
- Confidentiality obligations
- Director responsibilities
- Announcement wording
- Agreed references
- Reputation management
Our specialist employment solicitors regularly advise senior executives helping maximise exit packages whilst also protecting future careers. We provide commercially focused, pragmatic legal advice that ensures you understand every aspect of your Settlement Agreement before signing.

Why Senior Executives Need Specialist Settlement Agreement Advice
Unlike standard employees, senior executives often have contractual arrangements worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds.
A settlement agreement should never be viewed as an administrative exercise.
It can affect:
- future bonus entitlement
- share schemes
- deferred remuneration
- equity awards
- post-termination restrictions
- tax treatment
- professional reputation
- future employment opportunities
Our solicitors regularly negotiate improved terms for senior executives robustly and cost effectively.

Senior Executive Settlement Agreement Solicitors
Leaving a senior executive role is rarely straightforward. Whether your departure is due to redundancy, a business restructure, performance concerns or a mutually agreed exit, your Settlement Agreement is likely to involve far more than standard termination terms.
Senior executive Settlement Agreements often include complex provisions relating to compensation, bonuses, share options, long-term incentive plans (LTIPs), restrictive covenants, confidentiality obligations and agreed references. These issues can have a significant impact on both your financial position and your future career trajectory.
At Attwells Solicitors, our specialist Employment Law team provides discreet, commercially focused legal advice to senior executives across England and Wales. We take the time to understand your circumstances, explain your legal position and ensure your Settlement Agreement properly reflects your contractual entitlements, seniority and future ambitions.
Whether you simply require the independent legal advice needed to sign your agreement or want us to negotiate an improved executive exit package on your behalf, we are here to support you every step of the way.
Call us today on 01206 239757 for a free confidential discussion. We will review your settlement agreement, explain your options and advise whether the terms can be improved. In most cases, our legal fees are covered by your employer.
Executive Exit Advice – When Should You Seek Legal Advice?
The best time to speak to one of our senior executive settlement agreement solicitors is as soon as you receive your settlement offer or settlement agreement. Early legal advice gives you a clear understanding of your rights, the value of your exit package and whether there is scope to negotiate improved terms before signing.
Although Settlement Agreements often contain deadlines for acceptance, employers will usually allow sufficient time for you to obtain independent legal advice. Seeking advice at an early stage also demonstrates that you are approaching the process professionally and ensures any negotiations are handled strategically from the outset.
As part of our executive exit advice, we regularly advise on:
- Executive compensation packages and termination payments
- Annual bonuses, commission, share options and LTIPs
- Restrictive covenants and post-termination obligations
- Confidentiality clauses and reputation management
- Agreed references and future employment opportunities
Our aim is not simply to help you sign your Settlement Agreement. We work to ensure your executive exit package reflects the value you have brought to the business while protecting your professional reputation and long-term career prospects.
