How Can Employment Counsel Help Me Now?

Employment agreements are the scaffolding on which corporate positions are built. The terms of these agreements cover compensation and how the position is expected to function in the corporate structure.  They detail how much control an executive has in the company, what happens if circumstances change and what opportunities are available beyond the role. They will also state the terms for concluding employment (see our section on severance agreements for more information). 

Employment agreements are future-focused, designed to contain terms that affect the long-term value of the role.  You may be signing an agreement in the near future but have you thought about what it will look like in three years?  How about in five or ten?  

If you’ve invested time building your career to the executive level, we can help identify where those terms work against you, where they can be improved and we’ll help you negotiate before you sign on to your position.
