Severance Agreements

In some situations, when an employee is terminated or resigns from his or her employment, an employer may offer a severance agreement (also known as a separation agreement). When employees are presented with a severance package or separation agreement, it is important to consult with an attorney regarding the terms of the proposed agreement and any potential legal claims before signing the agreement.

We advise employees regarding severance agreements and negotiate the terms of those severance agreements on behalf of our clients. If your employer has offered you a severance agreement, contact our office at (504) 603-1500 or (414) 268-6100.
