Severance

Severance Agreements Attorneys - Employment Termination Lawyers - Atlanta GA

A signed severance agreement is the best way for any employer and employee to end a relationship. Yet we have found that an employee often gives up his or her rights for far too little money. When you have been offered a severance package, having a skilled lawyer on your side can make a dramatic difference in your financial outcome.

The ERISA Center, a tradename of Melville Johnson, P.C., focuses its practice on employment law matters. We are very experienced in drafting enforceable severance agreements as well as negotiating their specific terms. We represent terminated employees in achieving the fullest possible benefit package.

While the amount of cash compensation provided by the agreement is important, money is not the only factor to consider. Other components of a severance agreement can include provisions for health care coverage and other benefits, compensation for unexercised stock options or deferred commissions, pension benefits, the timing and terms of departure, unemployment insurance, and others. When you meet with an attorney at our firm, we will fully explore your employment status, your career goals, and your financial situation. Then we will map a strategy to obtain the severance package that best meets your needs. In developing the negotiation strategy, our attorneys will also consider the taxation aspects of the severance package in order to place the client in the best position.

We also represent officers, directors, key executive employees, doctors, and other high-level professionals in severance plan and contract negotiations at the outset of employment. We have the experience and negotiation skills needed to obtain optimum severance agreements.

Before you release all claims against your employer, count on Melville Johnson's ERISA lawyers to negotiate your severance agreement. There is no reason to settle for less.
