Employment Contracts Executive Severance Packages Restrictive Covenants Employee Confidentiality Agreements

Employment contracts and agreements are an essential consideration in today's business environment. For employees such as highly skilled managers or technology specialists, these contracts can not only protect you in the event of a management shift or economic downturn, they can also protect your right to find new employment if you are let go.

Likewise, employers benefit from these contracts by protecting proprietary information, trade secrets, and talented employees from being 'stolen' or transferred to competitors after an employee leaves.

In my practice as a lawyer, I represent both employees and employers in the Philadelphia Metro area and throughout the eastern Pennsylvania region and assist them in the negotiation, drafting, and enforcement of employment contracts and agreements such as:

• Term employment contracts
• Executive severance packages
• Employee confidentiality agreements
• Non-compete agreements
• Proprietary agreements
• Restrictive covenants of all types

Although these contracts and agreements can be complex and involve intricate federal statutes such as ERISA, they are critical in clearly setting out the employment relationship, especially for executives and highly placed individuals.

As someone who understands the issues and interests at play on both sides of the negotiating table, I am usually able to achieve solutions that would otherwise not be possible—resolving thorny dissolutions of employment relationships without the need for a protracted and expensive courtroom battle.

However, there are times when going to court is the only adequate way truly to protect my clients' interests, and in addition to my work negotiating and drafting these agreements, I have extensive experience in litigating employment disputes.
