Business Exit Pack (Settlement Agreement + IP Assignment + Reference Letter)

Leaving a job in Ireland — particularly where a settlement agreement is involved — requires careful legal navigation. Our Business Exit Pack covers the three most common legal needs at the point of exit.

What’s Included

• Independent legal advice (ILA) on your settlement agreement — the legal requirement before signing
• Review of any IP assignment or post-employment restriction clauses
• Advice on whether non-compete clauses are enforceable
• Certificate of independent legal advice (required for settlement to be binding)
• Professional reference letter template for your employer to complete
• Written summary of your post-employment obligations and their enforceability

This pack is for employees. If you are an employer seeking to structure a settlement, see our Employment Settlement Agreement product.
