Focused and Dedicated Employment Contract and Severance Attorney
If you are an employee with an employment contract or a proposed severance agreement, these documents may establish the terms and conditions of your employment, or your rights in association with the termination of your employment. The terms of these contracts can affect your life and employment opportunities for years to come.
When working out an employment contract or severance agreement, you need an attorney with focus, dedication and experience. I concentrate my San Francisco, California, law practice exclusively on employees' rights. My exclusive focus on employee rights allows me to stay up to date with new court decisions or statutes as they are enacted. Many lawyers spread their practice too thin for that. At the Law Offices of Alan Adelman, you will get focused and experienced representation from your lawyer. Contact me today.
Handling Employment and Severance Agreements at All Stages
Employment Contracts
A written contract of employment may provide enhanced legal rights in your employment. The vast majority of workers do not have written contracts with their employers. If you are provided the opportunity to enter into such a contract, you need to ensure that your rights under the contract are adequately protected.
After almost 15 years of advocating for employees' rights, I have the demonstrated experience and knowledge to effectively:
- Negotiate on your behalf for the best possible contract provisions
- Review and interpret contractual documents
- Negotiate a severance in association with the termination of your employment
- Litigate on your behalf if your employment contract has been breached and the compensation to which you are entitled is being withheld
I have the demonstrated experience and knowledge you need to enforce the terms of your employment contract, from the initial stages of negotiation to the final stages of litigation and trial.
Severance Agreement
For those inexperienced with employment law issues, it is hard to know whether a severance package is in your best interests or whether a current agreement is enforceable against you. It is generally the case that severance agreements include an agreement prohibiting you from taking legal action against your employer. The terms and conditions of these agreements are extremely important, especially if you have been discriminated against, wrongfully terminated or sexually harassed.
Regardless of where you are in the severance negotiations, I can provide you with strong representation by:
- Reviewing a proposed severance agreement to determine whether signing the agreement is in your best interests
- Negotiating for the compensation to which you are entitled due to an employer's breach of your employment contract
- Helping ensure that your severance agreement is enforced
- Litigating in the event that your severance agreement is breached or the proposed severance agreement is unreasonable and should not be signed.
