PRACTICE AREAS

Separation Agreements

Silver Spring Law Firm, Emphasizing Quality Representation

A portion of our employment law practice is devoted to drafting, reviewing and negotiating separation agreements and assisting employees in understanding such agreements.  Our firm is dedicated to helping you negotiate the terms of these separation agreements.  The purpose of these agreements is to have the employee and company part ways with the employee receiving all rightfully earned benefits, bonuses or unpaid sales commissions and without damaging his future career prospects.

We stand by individuals through the process of negotiating and reviewing separation agreements. One case that we handled involved an individual who brought a client into a business when he was employed, but was not allowed to retain the business of that client upon separating from the company. Our firm aggressively fought for our client, gaining a separation agreement that allowed him to retain the future business of any client that he brought into the company when he was hired. 

Our office strongly recommends having these agreements reviewed by an attorney concentrating in this area, prior to signing it.  Employees upon separation from the company will typically feel pressure from the company to sign the agreement immediately.  However, they can be losing important rights, such as unpaid bonuses.  We understand the nature of transition in the workplace and the stress that is associated with it.  Our comprehensive consultation reviews with the employee, not just the separation agreement, but the gambit of legal issues that are connected with job transition to fully prepare that employee for it.
