Employment Contracts

Attorney and client involvement at all steps of the process is critical.

The firm has handled the negotiation of employment contracts and contract extensions for a variety of key employees. The critical factor to efficient and successful negotiations for both sides has generally been the hands-on involvement of attorneys and clients on both sides at all significant stages of the negotiations.

Know the facts.

An equally important factor for the employee’s success is for your attorney to get as much information as possible about the players; employer finances; and the employment history, setting, and expectations, as early in the process as possible. Finally, when the client is a highly compensated executive, consultation with a qualified tax professional in tandem with legal counsel is a prudent investment.
