At the Timoney Knox law firm in the Philadelphia area, our employment lawyers negotiate and review employment contracts, non-compete agreements, severance agreements and other contracts between employers and employees.
Take the time for a legal review. You trust your employer, but your employer's first concern is the business. If you have been asked to sign an agreement, make sure it protects your rights. Check with an employment law attorney.
Severance agreements can be negotiated. Even in tough economic times, you can negotiate a severance agreement with your employer. More severance pay, a future contract for services, an extension of benefits or a release from a non-compete can help as you leave your employment. Contact an experienced lawyer about your options.
Is the non-compete agreement fair to both parties? Every word counts in a contract. A non-compete agreement that may seem reasonable today may present problems at a later date when the business climate changes. Review the agreement with your lawyer.
By having a lawyer review an employment contract, you are demonstrating the care and concern you have for your work relationship. Your employer will have the contract reviewed; you have the same right. Contact an employment law attorney at Timoney Knox.
