Severance agreements are an agreed-upon arrangement between an employer and employee regarding the termination of an employee. These documents must be carefully drafted in order to be enforceable and achieve the desired result. Developing the correct language will aid in your protection against conflicts or litigation in the future.

Severance agreements should include elements such as compensation, a valid waiver of claims, confidentiality agreements, restrictive covenants, and remedies in the event of a breach. Many contracts also include non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.

At the Law Offices of Pullano & Farrow, our attorneys can draft and review new and existing severance contracts for your firm. Our Labor & Employment attorneys are also available during the negotiation process. Additionally, we can consult during situations in which a terminated employee has breached a severance agreement.
