Employment and Severance Agreements
Carefully crafted employment and severance agreements are essential tools for both employers and executives in the construction industry. When well-drafted and properly enforced, these agreements can protect key business interests, clarify responsibilities and benefits, ensure smooth transitions, and avoid costly disputes. C&A provides sophisticated drafting, negotiation, and litigation counsel for employment and severance contracts. Our employment law team works closely with our business and litigation practices to provide comprehensive support on agreement matters.
Drafting and Negotiating Agreements
We advise both companies and executives on the preparation and negotiation of:
- Executive employment contracts
- Non-compete and non-solicitation covenants
- Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements
- Intellectual property protection provisions
- Compensation and benefits terms
- Termination and severance clauses
- Dispute resolution procedures
Whether you are an employer looking to secure key talent and safeguard proprietary information, or an executive negotiating your own employment or severance package, we provide the knowledgeable counsel and adept negotiation to craft agreeable terms and minimize future disputes.
Agreement Enforcement and Litigation
When disputes arise over employment or severance agreement terms, we provide the forceful advocacy to enforce our clients’ rights. This includes:
- Severance payment and benefit disputes
- Failure to pay wages or bonuses owed
- Non-compete and non-solicitation violations
- Improper disclosure of confidential information
- Intellectual property ownership and use conflicts
- Fraudulent inducement and rescission claims
Our litigators pursue swift injunctive relief to stop misconduct, then aggressively drive cases to successful verdicts or favorable settlements.
