Under most Federal, State and local laws, private employers are not required to provide severance pay to their employees. Thus, severance pay is generally agreed upon in a contract between an employee and employer. At Valli Kane & Vagnini, we provide severance agreement consultations to help protect your rights and ensure you receive a fair and reasonable separation package when leaving your job.
Severance agreements are often complex and may contain restrictive or unclear provisions that can be difficult to fully understand without legal guidance. Having an experienced attorney review your agreement will give you the confidence you need to know that your interests are being protected.
When you work with us, we will carefully analyze the terms of your severance agreement, identify potential risks, answer any questions, and recommend revisions to protect your interests. We can also negotiate directly with your employer on your behalf, allowing you to focus on your next steps with peace of mind.
Our goal is to help you achieve the best possible outcome and ensure that you are treated fairly by your employer during this transition. If you are considering signing a severance agreement, don’t hesitate to contact us for a consultation and let us help you protect what you’ve earned.
