About Separation Agreements
Upon being terminated by an employer, many employees are presented with a separation agreement that provides for post-employment severance payments, information on equity rights in the company, post-employment restrictions and a release of claims against the employer. No employee should sign a separation agreement without first consulting experienced legal counsel. Our attorneys have significant experience in reviewing and negotiating separation agreements on behalf of employees of all levels spanning a vast number of industries. We evaluate the manner in which the employee was terminated, the employee’s experience working for the employer, whether the employee has a claim against the employer and the terms of the separation agreement to determine if the offer is fair, legal and according to industry standards. Our experience negotiating high-stakes matters along with our ability to litigate disputes enable us to maximize an employee’s benefits upon separation from their employer.
