Employment Agreements

Overview

Clear employment documents set expectations, protect everyone involved, and prevent the disputes that come from handshake arrangements. We work with companies building their teams and with executives and employees reviewing the agreements in front of them.

Hiring is one of the biggest commitments a business makes, and the documents behind it matter. We draft and review the agreements that govern the employment relationship so both sides know where they stand: compensation, duties, confidentiality, ownership of work, and what happens when someone leaves.

We also counsel on the agreements around the edges of employment, including offer letters, restrictive covenants, commission structures, and separations.
