Protecting Future Earnings: How We Secured Share Retention and Early Industry Re-entry for a Start-up Manager

Mr T was a manager in a UK start-up business with shares in the company. When his employer proposed to terminate his employment, we negotiated a deal whereby he was allowed to keep his shares, which would result in a windfall of over £100,000 in the event that the start-up business was sold in the future. We were also able to renegotiate his restrictive covenants, meaning that he could commence work in the industry earlier than his employment contract allowed.
