Question 1

How does the remote review work from Galway?

Accepted Answer

Identically to everywhere: the agreement by email - every page, schedules included - with your contract and the story in ten lines; the contribution position confirmed with you in writing before any work begins; the advice call by phone or video at a time that suits, evenings included; and the certificate and signing completed remotely. Galway and county clients instruct on exactly this basis - the 48-hour clock runs from the email’s arrival, and the west’s distance from Dublin adds precisely nothing to it.

Question 2

Galway’s med-tech cluster runs structured exits - what does the review focus on?

Accepted Answer

The precision points structured packages create: the waiver schedule audited for its actual reach; the package separated into entitlements (notice at full value, accrued holidays, any statutory floor) versus the genuine enhancement purchasing your waiver; benefits and pension contributions through the notice period verified; covenant scope read against your original contract - fresh restraints at exit being consideration, not boilerplate; and for roles carrying bonus or equity, the earned-versus-discretionary sorting and the vesting calendar built before any position is taken, because the termination date against a vesting cliff is frequently worth more than any other single ask.

Question 3

I’ve been given a deadline - can Galway timing work?

Accepted Answer

Yes: 48 hours standard from the document’s arrival, genuine same-day review for genuine same-day deadlines (phone rather than email for those) - and the deadline itself is usually softer than presented: extensions framed around obtaining the required advice are nearly always granted, since informed consent is what makes the employer’s own waiver stick. The right response to a Friday deadline is the document sent Monday it arrives - the review inside the window beats both panic-signing and defiance.

Question 4

Who pays for the advice on a Galway agreement?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, substantially the employer: the contribution toward required independent advice is well-established custom - it protects the employer’s finality as much as your rights - and in most cases covers most or all of the standard review’s cost. The arrangement is confirmed with you in writing before any work begins; a missing contribution clause is a flag, and usually the first, easiest ask of any negotiation.

Question 5

What about senior exits in the west - site leads, directors, founders moving on?

Accepted Answer

The executive tier runs fully remotely and serves exactly these: the prior question - should the agreement be better? - answered before any certificate is contemplated; the levers worked: notice at full value, bonus and commission sorted, vesting timing, garden leave terms, covenants priced or struck, the reference and announcement choreographed; the engagement bounded - typically a day or two of focused work, fees agreed in writing before it begins, the enhanced contribution customary at senior level sought as standard; and discretion designed in throughout, because senior circles in the west are small and half of exit value is reputational. The first conversation is confidential, and early is when it changes outcomes.
