Your severance agreement is negotiable.

Whether you’re leaving a job by choice or you’re being asked to leave, the terms of your severance package can have a significant bearing on your financial and employment future. And negotiation isn’t just about the dollar amount you are being offered - other terms in the agreement can have a significant impact on your future, what you can and cannot say, what jobs you can take, etc. Working out the terms of your severance agreement with an employment attorney will ensure your best interests are served. If you’ve been offered a severance agreement, contact us.

Leaving your employer for any reason is scary and emotional. As a result, many employees sign their severance agreements without talking to an attorney and they leave money or more favorable terms on the table.

Nelson Schaffer is experienced in severance negotiations and can help you walk away with the best result for you. Not only can we make sure the pay you receive is appropriate, but we can also work to establish more favorable terms in other areas of your agreement.

Your employer may have encouraged you to sign your severance agreement quickly but contact us before you do that to ensure you are protected.
