Severance Negotiations

Our firm represents clients who are offered severance or separation agreements. We advise our clients about the terms of the offered agreement, including whether its terms are standard, governed by any applicable severance plan and whether, based on the circumstances and any potential claims, those terms may be negotiable. We arm our clients with the information they need to assess their options. Frequently, we negotiate directly on their behalf and other times act purely in an advisory capacity. Many severance matters are a direct result of other illegal terminations such as retaliation for the reporting of or the refusal to participate in illegal activities, violations of public policy or other protected activities such as harassment and discrination. In these cases, the severance negotiations become complex and multifaceted. Our firm’s attorneys have vast experience in delivering the best outcome for our clients be it a negotiated or litigated resolution.
