Can you ask if the meeting can be postponed until you have your own representation? Or maybe go but do not agree, commit to or sign anything.

Lawyer as in a person who has a JD who happens to work in the HR office or does the HR office has an employee with a position like "attorney advisor" or "general attorney" on staff. In addition, did they ask you to speak with the General Counsel's office?

They're going to try to get you to sign a separation agreement, probably. You could get a little money. Why are you resigning?
