Boston Lawyer Negotiating Severance Packages
Newton, Massachusetts, Employment Contracts Attorney
Have you been offered severance pay as part of a termination package? Do you know whether the package is fair and comprehensive? The law firm of Russell & Associates LLC can help you evaluate whether your employer's severance proposal is reasonable. We also can help you in negotiating better terms.
Team Russell is composed of experienced attorneys who are skilled negotiators. We get to know our clients in order to understand exactly how the proposed severance agreement would impact them and their family. We can then go back to the company and see if new severance terms can be reached. Agreement negotiation is one of the many skills that our attorneys possess and use to our clients' benefit.
Our firm recently negotiated severance agreements for a number of executives who were being let go. As the result of our involvement, the company offered an improved severance package to each employee.
Regardless of the situation in which you were let go, if a severance agreement is being offered, have a lawyer look it over. In many cases, an attorney may be able to improve the severance benefits you are offered. Not all companies provide severance packages to terminated employees, and generally, there is no legal obligation to do so. However, many employers do offer severance to employees released due to corporate reorganization, or a lack of work.
Legal Language in Severance Agreements
Any type of employment contract is written in a dense legal language that can be difficult to understand. One of our attorneys can thoroughly review your severance agreement and break the details down for you so you can fully understand what the company is offering you. Do not sign anything until a lawyer has reviewed the contract.
Oftentimes, employers want to prevent a lawsuit from a recently terminated employee so they are more willing to negotiate. However, having qualified legal representation on your side can help the process along, as the employer will most likely have you dealing with a member of their legal team when negotiating a severance agreement.
