SEVERANCE PACKAGES |
|
|
|
|
We understand the unique legal issues and circumstances that executive and senior level management employees face from contract law to bonus disputes to "whistle blower" statutes. Each career move you make, whether internally at your present workplace or when exiting and moving to a new organization, represents a potential opportunity for you. Transitions can bring upward and positive change, but there is always the possibility that you are losing out on or missing an important and potentially substantial benefit. It is critical for you to explore each and every avenue for possible gain as you leave one employment position for another.
Lipman & Plesur, LLP can provide the insight and evaluation you may need. It may be important and worthwhile to consult with an attorney with experience handling exit situations to negotiate with your employer and bring you the best possible package. |
