Severance Package Negotiation

Employers often provide employees with a severance package upon termination. Most severance packages require an employee to enter into a release of all legal claims in order to receive the severance compensation.

If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, it is best to consult with an attorney prior to entering into the proposed severance agreement. Please contact our firm for a free case evaluation and we will let you know if we believe your situation is one in which we believe we have a chance to negotiate a more favorable package.
