Employment and Severance Agreements
If you are an employee being separated from your company and your employer has offered you a severance agreement, it is generally in your best interest to have the agreement reviewed by an experienced employment law attorney. Often times, a severance agreement will contain a full general release in favor of the employer, meaning that, by signing the agreement, you may be waiving your right to bring a claim. Also, a severance agreement drafted by the employer is usually written to serve the best interests of the employer.
We strongly recommend that employees presented with a severance agreement have a lawyer review the agreement to determine if more favorable terms or compensation can be achieved. In particular, our firm can analyze whether you have any potential claims against the employer and, if so, whether the severance package offered provides adequate compensation for release of those claims. In many cases where potential claims exist, we have been successful in achieving a larger severance than the amount initially offered by the employer.
If you are an employer concerned about a complaint or potential legal action from a terminated employee, we can draft a separation agreement designed to avoid litigation and bring closure to the employment relationship.
