How to Secure Your Interests in Writing First

Before signing any contract, an employee should understand exactly what the contract means for them. We negotiate, draft and review employment contracts. The legal professionals at Goldberg & Fliegel possess over 50 years of experience in the practice of employment law and have a successful track record of helping clients secure their interests in writing. We have helped countless clients in the creation, drafting, and negotiation of employment contracts.

Services for All Kinds of Contracts

No matter the scope or purpose of the contract, Goldberg & Fliegel has the experience needed to ensure the protection of the interests of our clients.

We represent executives and other employees in the negotiation and review of employment agreements. We understand the complexities of these agreements and will seek to obtain the most favorable terms to you. We will advise and counsel you as to the proposed terms so that there are no surprises down the road regarding compensation and other terms and conditions of employment and separation from employment.

We represent clients in a broad variety of contract negotiations and contract matters, including negotiating, drafting, reviewing and editing agreements involving:

• Position and Job Duties;
• Duration/Term of Employment;
• Employee Compensation and Benefits including salary, commissions, bonuses, stock, stock options, other incentive compensation;
• Grounds for termination of employment;
• Severance pay;
• Change in Control Provisions;
• Trade secret protection, and restrictions on post-employment activities including Non-Compete Agreements and Non-Solicitation Agreements.

If you are ever asked to sign a Non-Compete Agreement or Non-Solicitation Agreement as part of an employment agreement or as a stand-alone agreement, we encourage you to call us so that we can review such agreements and explain any restrictions that the employer is seeking to place on you and to potentially negotiate a lessening of these restrictions

Additionally, we represent employees who may have disputes with former employees over the provisions of Non-Compete Agreements and Non-Solicitation Agreements upon separation of employment. These types of agreements can restrict employees in future employment and in the solicitation of former customers or former co-workers. We can help negotiate resolutions of these disputes before they lead to litigation.

Protect Your Rights with Experienced Legal Professionals

Contract negotiation is understandably tricky since the precise language within contracts is meant to achieve the aims of certain individuals. At best, contracts are fair, but they can also be used to give employers an advantage. Seek qualified legal representation before signing any contract.
