Texas Lawyers for Severance Contract Negotiations
By signing severance agreements that contain a waiver or release of claims, employees give up certain rights that could affect their benefits or retirement income for years after their employment ends. It is crucial for employees and employers to understand their rights in severance package negotiations and drafting. Failure to understand what is at stake and prepare for all possibilities can result in significant legal difficulties when the employer-employee relationship is dissolved.
When a severance agreement is being offered, it is in the best interest of all parties to have their rights and obligations reviewed and explained by an experienced, knowledgeable lawyer. At Schachter Harris, LLP, we are skilled in this area of the law and have achieved many successes on behalf of our clients throughout Texas.
If you are an employee, we can analyze whether the agreement in question is in your best interest and possibly negotiate on your behalf for more favorable terms. If it is in your best interest to file a legal claim against your employer, we can seek to resolve the issue in your favor through litigation or alternative dispute resolution.
If you are an employer, we can help you ensure your legal obligations have been met by the severance agreement you have offered. You can also rely on us for skilled representation in the event of a lawsuit.
