If something at work already feels off — a sudden performance plan, a tone that's changed, a role quietly narrowing — the earlier you step in, the more options you have. I help you read the situation clearly and respond with a plan, not a reaction.
I typically reply within one working day.
Already further along than "quiet signals"? That's fine — most people reach out mid-process. Send me where things stand and I'll tell you what your options look like from here.
Send me an emailA short email describing your situation. No forms, no intake calls booked automatically — I read it myself.
A call to understand the full picture: what's happened, what's been said or written, and what matters most to you.
I come back with a clear outline of how I'd approach your case, and a fixed fee for the work — set out before anything is agreed.
If you'd like to go ahead, the engagement fee is paid and we start. No surprise invoices along the way.
There's no cost to the first conversation, and no obligation to continue afterward. You'll know exactly what things cost before you commit to anything.
A confidential read on what's actually happening — whether a process is standard, or built to manage you out.
Help responding to performance plans, meetings, and correspondence in a way that preserves your options rather than closing them.
Negotiation strategy and support through to a settlement that reflects your leverage, not just the employer's first offer.
Employment law is national, so where you're employed shapes what applies to your situation — but the core of what I do is negotiation strategy, not jurisdiction-specific legal advice. Tell me where you're based when you reach out, and I'll be upfront if it's outside what I can take on. Where independent legal sign-off is required locally, I make sure that's covered by qualified counsel before anything is finalised.
I spent over five years as a renewal and account manager in SaaS, negotiating six- and seven-figure contracts for a living. Not employment contracts — commercial ones. But the muscle is the same: reading leverage, knowing when a number is a real ceiling and when it's an opening position, and knowing how to hold a line without burning a relationship you might still need.
What I learned along the way is less about spreadsheets and more about tactics — the ones companies use, often without much subtlety, to manage cost and risk down before anyone official is involved. A performance plan issued the day someone's role becomes expensive. Targets that look reasonable in isolation but are quietly uncrossable together. A friendly conversation that's actually the opening move of a process.
I started noticing it in the experiences friends and family were going through, and started helping informally — reading the documents, drafting responses, talking through what an offer was really worth. Every time, the same pattern held: people go into these processes assuming good faith, and by the time they realise otherwise, they've already lost ground.
That's why I started doing this properly.
"You don't need to be an executive to get expert help. You just need someone in your corner who knows the process — early."
I don't work on a percentage of whatever you settle for. That model rewards chasing a bigger number over the right outcome for you — not what I'm optimising for.
Instead, you pay a fixed engagement fee to begin, and — where the work goes further, into a full negotiation through to signature — a completion fee agreed in advance based on the complexity of your case. You'll always know the number before you owe it.
After our first call, you get a specific fee for your case in writing — not a range, not "it depends."
Every situation is different, so your fee is worked out for your specific case rather than taken from a public price list.
If something changes scope significantly partway through, that's a conversation before any extra cost, not an invoice afterward.
Everything you share is treated as confidential. Case details are kept to what's needed to advise you, stored securely, and never sold or shared with third parties. Documents related to your case are deleted 60 days after our engagement ends unless you ask otherwise. Full details are set out in the engagement letter and privacy policy before any work begins.
I typically reply within one working day.
