Protecting The Rights Of Workers And Employers

Handle Employment And Severance Agreements With Confidence

Losing a job can be challenging, especially if you have spent many years contributing to an organization’s growth and success. A severance agreement can serve as a transitional tool as you look for your next role. However, it’s essential to ensure that the severance package your employer is providing is fair and commensurate with the time and value you contributed during your tenure. Additionally, if you had to sign an employment agreement, then you should review the terms and conditions to ensure their validity and call out any provisions that could be unlawful.

As you face the complexities of severance and employment agreements, our attorney at the Law Office of Neil S. Hyman, LLC, is here to protect your rights and advocate for your interests, whether you are entering an employment agreement or negotiating your severance agreement.

We can also assist employers in outlining the terms and conditions of severance and other employment agreements to ensure they comply with federal and state laws.
