Managing exit negotiations with confidence

With significant changes in employment law on the horizon, including the introduction of day one unfair dismissal rights from 2027, exit negotiations are expected to become increasingly important.

In this episode, Howes Percival’s employment law partners, Nick Benton and Hannah Ball, discuss different approaches to exit negotiations and settlement discussions, the issues employers should consider when holding these conversations with their employees, and practical guidance on how to ensure successful outcomes.

They will cover what exit negotiations mean in practice, from open discussions to protected conversations under the Employment Rights Act 1996, without prejudice discussions and the use of ACAS. You will hear practical guidance on how to run protected conversations effectively, avoid improper conduct, use settlement agreements appropriately, and the best tactical approach to navigating negotiations confidently and successfully.
