Separation and Severance Agreements

Whether we are representing the employee or employer. our goal is to help negotiate an agreement that will satisfy the needs of both parties so they can separate without concern of further legal entanglements.

If you are an employee who is about to be let go from your current position and have been offered a severance package, we strongly recommend that you first consult with an experienced employmentattorney . Remember, that contract was written by your employer, with its own best interests in mind. Depending on how long you have worked for the employer, and what claims you may have related to your separation, you may be entitled to much more than what is offered. An experienced severance and non-compete attorney can help negotiate a more balanced contract, both with regard to monetary andnon-monetary terms
.
Likewise, if you are an employer, Dana M. Gallup can help you draft a separation or severance agreement to avoid the risk of potential claims by the terminated employee. Sometimes an employer client will come to us for termination advice, concerned because of an employee’s past behavior. Perhaps the employee has threatened to file a claim or lawsuit or has complained about unfrair treatment. While these behaviors may partially influence an employer’s desire to let the employee go, they are also a cause for concern about potential litigation.

The best and surest way to address these issues is to draft a separation and severance agreement that meets the needs, desires, and concerns of both parties. Our firm has extensive experience successfully helping employers drafting and negotiate such agreements.
