All in a Day’s Work – Navigating Senior Exits: Strategy, Risk and Getting It Right

In this episode of All in a Day’s Work, Alex Harper is joined by Alistair McArthur to explore the complexities of managing senior exits and what separates a well executed departure from one that creates legal and reputational risk.

From early planning and succession considerations through to communication strategy and execution, this episode highlights the importance of preparation at every stage.

The discussion covers common trigger events, the types of claims senior individuals may bring and where employers most often go wrong, particularly when decisions are unclear or poorly handled.

With practical insights on protected conversations, settlement agreements and structuring exit packages, Alex and Alistair provide a clear framework to help employers approach senior exits strategically, minimise disputes and achieve commercially sensible outcomes.
