Severance Agreements and Employment Contracts

The key to achieving a successful economic result in the negotiation of a severance or employment agreement is having adequate legal or business leverage. Moreover, these agreements often contain legal jargon that makes it difficult for a layperson to know what he or she is being asked to sign. We advise clients how to maximize leverage in the negotiation of an employment or severance agreement while avoiding mistakes in the drafting of an agreement that could come back to harm them.
