Our Maryland Severance Agreement Lawyer Will Review And Negotiate On Your Behalf
The Law Firm of J.W. Stafford, L.L.C. reviews and successfully negotiates severance packages on behalf of employees in all industries in Maryland and Washington, D.C. If you have just been informed by your employer that you are being terminated, they most likely have presented you with a severance package. Some employees simply take whatever severance package the employer offers without ever exploring whether they may be able to negotiate for more favorable terms. On the other hand, the smart employees immediately consult with a Maryland severance agreement lawyer and view this as a chance to negotiate a better deal to ease their transition to a new opportunity.
Entering into a good severance agreement can be the difference between having a stream of income from your former employer to hold you over until you find a new opportunity and having to tap your personal savings. In short, severance packages should be reviewed and negotiated by an experienced employment attorney, and The Law Firm of J.W. Stafford, L.L.C. can assist you with doing just that.
We are experienced in reviewing severance packages and effectively negotiating with employers. Here are just a few of the points that our severance agreement attorneys typically negotiate for our clients in severance packages:
- The reason for termination that will be communicated to future prospective employers, and the contents of any letters of recommendation from your employer;
- The length of time that your soon-to-be former employer will pay your salary;
- Vacation days, paid-time off, sick leave and commissions;
- Full or partial releases from any restrictive covenants that you entered into with your employer, including non-compete agreements, non-solicitation agreements, or confidentiality agreements; and
- Continuation of health insurance coverage for you and your family during your time of transition.
