Forbes magazine strongly suggests individuals use lawyers to review their severance agreements. This is with good reason – the language in the fine print has consequences and oftentimes the agreement as designed may try to exploit that the employee is emotional over the stress of the event and his or her decision making capability is compromised.

The employer may place certain killer language in the agreement, like restricting your ability to work for a period, or perhaps indefinitely. Did you know courts may enforce non-compete clauses in severance agreements? This may affect your ability to obtain meaningful employment in the industry you’ve worked in your whole career.

Did you know you may be waiving your rights to ever sue the company? You may want an experienced lawyer to evaluate any claims you have or may have against the company compared to the money they are offering you via a severance agreement. Many employees have potential claims against their employer without knowing it.

That is why we offer these consultations as a paid service to assist you.

With a severance agreement review, we will answer your questions regarding the agreement, counsel you regarding your options, and advise you of ways to balance your immediate economic payments and concerns with your long-term career goals and legal rights.
