The truth is it is very rare that a counter-offer is successful in the long term. It is probable that even after accepting an appealing counter-offer, within 6-12 months your initial reasons for leaving will likely resurface and you will be faced with beginning the job search process all over again.
It's legal. It's very rarely a good idea to accept a counter anyway. Once you've decided to leave, or use this for negotiation, management etc often see you differently. You shouldn't need to do this get a payrise or recognition.
A counteroffer functions as both a rejection of an offer to enter into a contract, as well as a new offer that materially changes the terms of the original offer. Because a counteroffer serves as a rejection, it completely voids the original offer. Thus, the original offer can no longer be accepted.

In Hyde v Wrench (1840), it was established that a counter offer terminates the original offer, and the offeree can no longer accept the initial proposal. This case highlighted the importance of clear communication between parties to form a legally binding agreement.
Answer and Explanation: If an acceptance does not reflect all of these terms, it will be considered a counteroffer and not be legally binding on either party. A valid contract requires both parties to agree to all of its details before there can be any obligation between them under law.
A conditional acceptance occurs when a party responds to an offer with terms that add or modify conditions to the original offer. Because it alters the original terms, a conditional acceptance is considered a counteroffer rather than an outright acceptance.
