Severance agreements can offer essential support during times of job transition. However, it’s crucial to understand what these agreements entail and ensure that the terms are fair and transparent. Here's a breakdown of common severance terms, potential red flags, and how Kovel Law approaches securing favorable outcomes for our clients.

Common Severance Terms

A typical severance agreement may include compensation details, benefits continuation, and clauses about confidentiality and non-competition. Understanding each element is vital to ensure you're not agreeing to anything that could negatively impact your future opportunities.

Red Flags to Watch For

Be wary of overly broad non-compete clauses that restrict future employment opportunities or vague language that might affect your benefits. Also, lookout for waiver clauses that could limit your ability to pursue certain legal rights after leaving the company.

Negotiating for Fair Outcomes

Negotiation is key to ensuring a severance agreement meets your needs. At Kovel Law, we advocate for clear, equitable terms that protect your interests. We analyze the agreement carefully, negotiate better terms if necessary, and aim to secure a package that truly reflects your contributions and rights.
