Navigating Severance Package Negotiations with Strategies for Fair and Legal Agreements

When facing a job separation, many employees are presented with a severance agreement that can significantly impact their financial and professional future. Before signing anything, its crucial to understand your rights, obligations, and the potential for better terms. At Holden Law, we provide expert legal counsel for employees navigating Severance package negotiations. Our goal is to ensure you are fully protected and properly compensated.

Why You Shouldnt Sign a Severance Agreement Without Legal Review

Severance agreements are often written to protect the employernot the employee. These documents can include complex clauses such as non-compete restrictions, confidentiality provisions, and waivers of legal claims. Signing without understanding the implications may limit your future job opportunities or your ability to seek legal redress.

Thats where Holden Law comes in. Serving the Twin Cities metro area, our experienced attorneys will thoroughly review your agreement, identify red flags, and help you negotiate for more favorable terms.

What Are Severance Package Negotiations?

Severance package negotiations involve reviewing and renegotiating the terms of your separation from employment. These negotiations can include:

  • Severance pay amount
  • Payout schedule
  • Healthcare continuation (COBRA assistance)
  • Stock options or retirement benefits
  • Non-disparagement and non-compete clauses
  • Eligibility for unemployment benefits

Employers may offer a standard agreement, but that doesn't mean its the best or only option available to you. Our firm has successfully helped clients increase severance compensation, remove harmful clauses, and extend benefits after employment.
