This is the service the site exists for: you have the document, the employer requires you to take advice, and the clock is running. Here is exactly what the review covers, exactly how the process runs, and exactly who pays — because the anxious hour after the agreement arrives deserves answers, not mystique.
What the Review Actually Does
Five passes through your document. The waiver, valued: which claims the schedule surrenders, and what they’re realistically worth on your facts — service, the process run, the strength of any claim — because the waiver is the price and prices should be known. The package, audited: what’s genuinely being provided against what’s already owed — notice, accrued holidays, the statutory floor — since packages sometimes dress up existing entitlements as generosity. The architecture, read: reference and announcement terms, confidentiality’s actual scope, non-disparagement, restrictive covenants (with a hard eye for new ones arriving in the exit document), pension handling, clawbacks, return of property. The gaps, flagged: the agreed reference wording that should be attached, the carve-outs that should exist, the tax question routed to your accountant before signature. The recommendation, plain: sign, ask, or think again — and when the deal is good, you’ll hear that directly, because some agreements should simply be signed and pretending otherwise would be its own malpractice.
The Process, the Price, the Deadline
The process: email the agreement (every page — the schedules are where the content lives), your contract if you have it, and the story in ten lines; the advice call runs by phone or video within 48 hours — evenings workable, because these conversations need privacy; the certificate and signing complete remotely. The price: by settled custom the employer pays a contribution toward the required advice — it protects their finality as much as your rights — and in most cases it covers most or all of the cost; the arrangement is confirmed with you in writing before any work begins, and a missing contribution clause is itself the first, easiest ask. The deadline: real but almost always softer than presented — extensions framed around obtaining the required advice are nearly always granted, and pressure to sign without advice is precisely what the informed-consent doctrine exists to prevent. Where the review finds improvable terms, the negotiation page shows how asks get made; where the exit is senior, the executive tier takes over before any certificate is contemplated.
