Mahwah, New Jersey Employment Lawyers Offering Severance Agreement Reviews

If you were worked in Mahwah or somewhere else in New Jersey or New York, then you should consider having one of our employment lawyers review your severance agreement for you.

Severance packages are almost always prepared by lawyers working for your employer. As a result, they typically contain provisions that require you waive important legal rights. For example, they often include releases requiring you to give up your right to file a lawsuit against your former employer, non-disparagement provisions prohibiting you from saying anything negative about the company or its employees and other provisions that may not be in your best interests. In some instances, they even include non-compete provisions and other restrictive covenants that could limit your ability to work in your industry or field for a period of months or years. As a result, it can be extremely important that you fully understand both the language of the agreement and its significance before you sign it.

Our employment law attorneys are experienced at reviewing severance agreements and explaining them to our clients in plain English. We will make sure you understand the agreement and help you decide whether you should sign it or hire an employment lawyer to negotiate better terms. We can evaluate whether you have a legal claim or another basis to negotiate a better package.
