When the CEO must go: Legal considerations and practical strategies

Contact us

Exiting a CEO or senior executive is rarely straightforward. In this episode of the Employment Law Pod, Partners Andrew Whiteaker and Helen Goss unpack the legal and commercial challenges of removing a senior leader. They explore how to handle service agreements, shareholder disputes, restrictive covenants, and whether garden leave or settlement is the best option.

In the second half of the episode, the focus shifts to workplace culture, with a deep dive into Lidl’s recent agreement with the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), highlighting new employer obligations around preventing workplace sexual harassment.

Packed with practical insights, this episode is essential listening for HR professionals, business leaders, and anyone involved in managing senior exits or safeguarding workplace culture.

Subscribe to the Employment Law Pod for expert insights that blend legal precision with practical business guidance.
