Exit Agreement Clarity Check

Work through an Aufhebungsvertrag or settlement draft clause by clause before deciding whether specialist legal review is needed.

A plain-language pass through the draft

An Aufhebungsvertrag can settle the end date, severance, release, leave, reference, claims, confidentiality, and return obligations in a few dense pages. We identify what each clause appears designed to do and where the practical effect is unclear.

Scope

The hour covers one agreement of up to eight pages plus the relevant employment contract. We create an issues list for you to raise with the employer or a qualified adviser. The session excludes legal certification, tax calculations, social-security advice, and representation.

Particular care before signing

An exit agreement may have consequences for unemployment benefits and may waive important claims. Do not sign merely because a draft carries a short internal deadline. Obtain qualified legal advice where rights, enforceability, or benefit consequences are at stake.
