Orange County Severance Review & Negotiations Attorney

Severance agreements, which can also be referred to as separation agreements, are legally binding contracts that are entered into between an employee and their employer.

Severance pay is not generally required under California law. However, many employers do provide severance agreements as a part of the terms of employment, especially when it comes to higher level employees. In instances in which severance agreements are made, it is vital that you get the agreement reviewed by an attorney before signing it.

In the absence of a formal severance agreement, you may still be eligible for severance if your employer led you to believe you would be paid severance. An OC severance review lawyer can help you review all documentation, employment contracts, employee handbooks, or company history to help you determine if this is the case.

It is important that you secure an OC severance review lawyer that understands the importance of these agreements. We know that your future is important to you, and we approach these situations with that in mind.

We can take a few routes when it comes to negotiating severance agreements:

• Negotiate behind the scenes, effectively “ghost-writing” proposals for you to bring to your employer.
• Negotiate directly with your employer’s legal representative on your behalf.

Our skilled team of severance review and negotiations lawyers will quickly determine whether you have leverage that could be useful in negotiating a more favorable settlement agreement.

There are times when an employee is terminated due to discrimination against them based on their race, sex, age, ethnicity, national origin, religion, or disability. In these cases, an employer may offer a separation agreement if the employee agrees not to exercise their right to file a lawsuit to recover damages.
