Do you advise on negotiated exits for senior executives?
Yes, we regularly support directors and senior employees in Leatherhead who are exiting their roles – whether that’s through redundancy, restructure or board-level negotiation. We’ll review your service agreement, bonus entitlements and post-termination restrictions and advise you on the best route forward. Our focus is on securing favourable terms, protecting your reputation and resolving matters swiftly. Visit our pages on senior executives and settlement agreements for more information.
I own a small business in Leatherhead – can you help with contracts and HR issues?
Absolutely. We act for many SMEs and growing businesses in Surrey, providing day-to-day employment law support. Whether you need robust contracts and policies, guidance on grievances or help managing an underperforming employee, we offer practical, legally-sound solutions. You can also access ongoing HR support to stay ahead of legal changes affecting your workforce.
Do I have to accept changes to my bonus or commission structure?
Not necessarily. If your employer in Leatherhead or elsewhere is proposing to reduce or remove a bonus or commission scheme, it depends on how the scheme is structured in your contract. We’ll review the wording and advise on whether it’s contractual or discretionary, and whether any changes are lawful. Our team frequently helps employees and executives challenge unfair changes or negotiate alternative terms. Learn more about bonus disputes and employment contracts.
Can you help if I’ve been placed on garden leave?
Yes. If you’ve been placed on garden leave – often the case with high-level roles – we’ll assess whether your employer is acting lawfully and what this means for your next steps. We regularly advise employees in Leatherhead and surrounding areas on pay, benefits, restrictive covenants and communication while on leave. We also help you prepare for a smooth transition to a new role. Visit our page on restrictive covenants in employment contracts to learn more.

I think I’ve been treated unfairly at work because of my pregnancy – can you help?
