Negotiation, Preparation and Enforcement of Severance Agreements
When you’ve been offered a job and you’re negotiating the terms of a written employment contract, one of the most important provisions is the severance package. You don’t go into a new job expecting it to end, but it’s a potential reality you need to address up front. An experienced lawyer can help you understand your rights, ensure that the agreement accurately states the terms agreed upon, and take the necessary action to enforce the agreement, if necessary. Buchanan Law Firm, LLC has the practice experience and knowledge to safeguard your rights.

Protecting Your Rights When Preparing a Severance Package
We will be your advocate throughout the process, helping you identify what you need in a severance agreement, negotiating the terms with your employer, and preparing/reviewing the employment contract to ensure the severance complies with the agreed-upon terms. We’ll seek to work cooperatively with your employer, as experience teaches us that this is often the most effective way to get the package that’s best for you. We’ll make certain your employer understands the key factors that influence your severance package, including:
- Your length of service to the company
- Your position and responsibilities with the company
- The reasonable amount of time required to find a similar position with undue economic hardship
- The circumstances surrounding your departure from the company
Aggressive Advocacy in the Enforcement of a Severance Agreement
We have decades of experience successfully litigating a wide range of employment law disputes, including breach of employment contract. If possible, we’ll seek to obtain compliance with the terms of your severance package without going to court, but we have the skill, knowledge and resources to take your claims to a judge and jury.
