Client stories
Detailed client experiences from termination reviews, severance preparation, and agreement checks with Codetrackbase.
“I had a termination letter, a proposed release, and three different dates in my notes. The review put them into one timeline and flagged the three-week point for immediate legal advice. The recap made my lawyer call much more efficient.”
Operations lead, Berlin“I expected more advice on the final severance number, which the consultant rightly would not promise. The stronger part was mapping bonus, holiday, reference language, and garden leave together. That changed what I asked HR to clarify.”
Sales director, Munich“English is my working language, but the agreement mixed German legal phrases with company shorthand. We marked what was clear, what was commercially negotiable, and what had to go to counsel before signature.”
Research manager, FrankfurtA client received a letter by courier on a Friday and initially focused on the proposed final salary date. During intake, the date of receipt showed that a possible challenge period needed urgent legal attention. The consultation was shortened to a timeline and document-organising call, and the client was directed to qualified counsel rather than using the remaining time for general negotiation preparation.
Another client wanted a higher severance amount but also needed an early release date for a new role. The preparation session separated must-haves from exchangeable points. Their brief covered release, reference wording, variable compensation, communication timing, and the severance proposal. The employer’s final position remained its own decision; the client reported that the organised brief prevented them from conceding a valuable non-cash term casually.
