Advice on Employment Contracts for Senior Executives

It is always worth having your employment contract thoroughly checked to make sure that you are happy with all of the terms and conditions. Once you have signed the agreement, you could be bound by it for many years.

We can work with you to establish exactly what you want from your new position and ensure that your contract accurately reflects this. Should you ever end up in a dispute, you will need to be able to demonstrate that you have a sound legal foundation for your position. Having a robust contract in place can also prevent misunderstandings and disagreements from arising.

It is particularly important to make sure you are in agreement with the restrictive covenants that you will be bound by. These will commonly cover issues such as non-competition, non-solicitation, non-poaching and non-dealing in the event that you leave your employment. We will also make sure that the restrictive covenants are fair and reasonable and not too widely drafted.

Where necessary, we routinely negotiate with employers on behalf of senior executives to secure the right terms and conditions. With many years of experience, we always work to obtain the strongest possible protection for clients.

Negotiating Your Exit and Advising on Settlement Agreements

Leaving employment as a senior executive is often a complex process. We can provide robust representation to negotiate a strong package and ensure that the restrictive covenants you agree to are not overly prohibitive.

We will also ensure that all relevant issues are dealt with in the agreement, including agreed statements and references, confidentiality, preventing your employer from discussing you and the compensation you will receive.

If you are being compensated in return for abandoning a claim against your employer, we will represent you in negotiations to ensure you receive the best possible payment.

Advice and Representation in Respect of Employment Disputes

An employment dispute can be damaging to your career and your reputation if not handled promptly and effectively. We provide advice and representation in employment disputes involving senior executives to find a swift solution.

As skilled employment lawyers, we have a strong background in dispute resolution. We are frequently able to resolve matters without the need for a tribunal or court case.

If you are involved in a disagreement with your employer, the best course of action is to speak to a legal expert without delay before the situation degenerates further. The sooner the matter is addressed, the easier it is to resolve. It is also essential to follow the correct procedure when raising an issue with your employer and we will ensure that this is done on your behalf.

I received a final settlement which I was very pleased with,and I would highly recommend Blair and the Toner legal team.”

His attention to detail and knowledge of the minutest details of the legislation is most impressive, and is what makes him stand out as one of the best advocates I have instructed.”

“I was and still am amazed with a phone call from Mr Blair Toner and all the advice he gave me, after listening patiently to my circumstances. And all that, before I made any commitment to their services. He clarified all my doubts, pointed me in the right direction and the minimum I can do, is recommend their services immensely. This experience, made my day. Thank you!”

Cesar Meneghetti

I highly recommend his services. Thank you for your great service, knowledge, understanding and ability to put yourself in my position. You are great at your job and as a person. God bless you.”
