Severance Negotiation
In addition to offering professional review of your severance agreement, our severance attorneys also offer a flat-fee based severance negotiation package. We will work on your behalf to negotiate better terms for your severance with your employer. We know how to present your best interests during the negotiation process. We will contact your employer and discuss in detail with them your situation, why we believe the employer may have violated the law by terminating your employment and work with your employer to help you receive the severance agreement or separation package that you deserve. Please call us to discuss.
