Severance
Severance advisory and negotiation coaching.
Release scopes, cash delta negotiation and clawbacks — read in commercial terms, then turned into asks you can actually make.
What we cover
- Release scope: what you are signing away and how far it reaches
- Cash delta negotiation on gross base severance, in priority order
- All rounds of the negotiation included, coached exchange by exchange
- Clawbacks, repayment triggers and forfeiture wording
- Non-compete, non-solicit and non-disparagement terms attached to the release
- Benefits continuation, equity treatment and timing of final payments
- A written playbook plus the exact counter-language to send
How the engagement runs
Most severance packages are a first offer written for the company's convenience. We tell you which terms carry real cost to you, which asks employers routinely grant, and the order to raise them in. Negotiation packages include every round — each counteroffer is re-read and your response re-sequenced until the negotiation closes — which is why they carry a success fee on the increase in gross base cash severance rather than a per-round charge.
Flat fee, a senior advisor on every engagement, and a written playbook delivered async in the portal. Your employer never knows we exist — you deliver every message yourself.
