Advocating for Executive Employee Protections

We frequently represent employees who have been offered a severance package, who are contemplating leaving their job or who are pursuing an employment opportunity with a specific company. In representing these professionals, we assist in reviewing agreements, evaluating options available, negotiating effective contracts and ensuring our clients understand their rights.

Severance packages: We represent employees who have been offered a severance package or who are considering leaving a job and want to know what to expect in a severance agreement. We help clients negotiate favorable severance packages which address health insurance continuation, moving expenses, compensation between jobs, management of retirement benefits and reasonable amount of severance compensation. Also, when termination may be resulting from the wrongful conduct of the employer, we evaluate leverage that a potential claim may have on the severance agreement.

Executive compensation agreements: Executive employees often have the negotiating power to insist upon a golden parachute - a substantial sum of money to be paid to them upon termination of employment. In addition, many times employers offer financial incentives such as stock options and other substantial financial benefits to influence important executives to stay with a company they are considering leaving. We assist employees in reviewing executive compensation agreements proposed to them when entering an organization or contemplating leaving the organization.

Other employment contracts: Whether you are entering into a confidentiality agreement, non-compete agreement or other employment agreement, it is essential to have the agreement clearly laid out in simple language that cannot be misconstrued at a later date. Our attorneys minimize the risk of future breach of contract litigation by analyzing, negotiating and drafting solid employment contracts on behalf of employees. We frequently address issues concerning pay, insurance coverage, termination and other issues.
