Why have an attorney review a severance agreement?
A severance package or employment separation agreement is often a trade: payment in exchange for a release and new obligations. Once you sign, those terms can be hard to change. An attorney review of your severance agreement helps you see what you're giving up, what you're agreeing to, and which points may be worth raising. The same applies to other employment agreements, such as a new offer with a non-compete.
What the review covers
- 01
Severance pay and payment terms
How much you'll receive, when it's paid, and any conditions attached to the payment.
- 02
Releases and waivers
Which claims you may be giving up by signing, and how broadly the release is written.
- 03
Confidentiality
What you can and can't say about the agreement, your employment, or the company.
- 04
Non-disparagement
Whether the obligation runs one way or both ways, and how far it reaches.
- 05
Non-compete, non-solicitation, and other restrictive covenants
Limits on where you can work next or who you can contact, and how long they last.
- 06
Benefits and post-employment obligations
Health coverage, equity, return of property, cooperation clauses, and other duties after you leave.
- 07
Signing and review deadlines
Agreements often include a deadline to sign or a period to revoke. Start your review early.
- 08
Negotiation support, where appropriate
If terms are worth raising, optional add-ons cover redlines and attorney negotiation support.
