A severance agreement providing you with monetary and non-monetary benefits at the end of your employment relationship can help ease the strain involved with transitioning away from your former job. However, you need to be cautious about signing a severance agreement presented by an employer because it will most likely release any legal claims you might have. These agreements can become complicated, especially if your former employer is asking for a non-compete agreement.
We recommend that you seek legal counsel before signing a severance agreement. We can provide you targeted advice about a proposed agreement, or help you obtain one, and negotiate with your employer to provide you a better deal.
We also provide counsel to those facing a dispute with a former employer or employee over their employment or post-employment contracts.
