Executive Severance & Employment Agreements — Orange County

If you are an executive or senior employee facing a severance agreement, employment contract, or forced arbitration clause, having experienced legal counsel review your agreement before you sign can make a significant difference in your outcome.

​

Severance Agreement Review

Severance agreements often contain broad releases of claims that waive your right to sue your employer for wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. Before signing, you should understand exactly what rights you are giving up and whether the compensation offered is fair given the strength of your potential claims.

​

Employment Contract Review

Executive employment contracts frequently contain non-compete clauses, non-solicitation provisions, clawback provisions, and arbitration clauses that can significantly limit your rights and future employment options. California has strong protections for employees in this area that many executives are unaware of.

​

Forced Arbitration Clauses

Many employers require employees to sign arbitration agreements that waive the right to a jury trial. California law places significant limitations on the enforceability of arbitration clauses, and an experienced employment attorney can evaluate

whether your arbitration agreement is enforceable.
