South Florida Lawyer for Severance and Non-Compete Agreements
Have you been asked to sign a contract as a condition of employment or continued employment? If your employer has asked you to sign a severance agreement, a non-compete agreement or any other employment contract, protect yourself by asking an experienced employment law attorney to review the document before you add your signature. These are legally binding agreements, and you might be signing away rights or putting yourself in an unfair position.
At Backer Law Firm, P.A., in Boca Raton, Florida, we represent clients who have been asked to sign a severance agreement as a result of a reduction in force or layoff, or asked to sign a non-compete agreement as a condition of employment. If you are in this position, contact us to learn about your rights and protect your interests.
Why Do I Need an Attorney to Review My Severance Package?
When employers draft severance agreements, they have their own best interests in mind, not yours. It pays to have a knowledgeable employment law attorney review the language to ensure that you are being treated fairly.
We will review your situation and your contract and look out for your best interests by determining:
- If you are inappropriately waiving the right to make future claims
- If there is an opportunity to negotiate more favorable terms
- If you can incorporate additional requests, such as a request for a letter of reference
- If you might have been wrongfully terminated or laid off for unlawful reasons
Advice About Non-Compete Agreements
Like many employees, you may have signed a non-compete agreement without giving it much thought. It is only years later when you are thinking of moving on to a new job or career that you start to wonder about the obligations and restrictions you are under.
We can advise you of your rights under an existing non-compete agreement, and represent you in negotiations or even litigation if the agreement seems excessively restrictive.
