Reviewing And Consulting On Employment Agreements
Employment agreements are crucial tools used by businesses to safeguard their proprietary information, maintain a competitive advantage and set clear expectations between the employer and employee. Employers use these contracts not only to attract top-tier talent by offering attractive terms but also to ensure that these skilled individuals remain with the company for a significant period of time.
At The Wolcott Law Firm LLC in Indianapolis, I have extensive knowledge and experience working with a variety of employment agreements. I am dedicated to helping you navigate the complex landscape of employment to safeguard your rights and interests. I understand that each employment agreement is unique, and I tailor my services to meet your specific needs and goals.
Helping You Make The Best Decision For Your Career
Indiana is generally an at-will state for employment. With that being said, many companies utilize contracts and agreements in order to protect their interests and talent. As an employee, you may feel as if these contracts are concrete, but until you sign on the line, these agreements are typically negotiable.
Employment agreements can greatly impact your career. They may restrict where you can work in the future or diffuse whistleblower actions, discrimination lawsuits or wage disputes. Before signing an agreement, you should thoroughly walk through every aspect of the agreement. Make sure your pay, vacation and ability to obtain future employment are adequately addressed. When needed, negotiate for a package that is lucrative and in your best interests.
Negotiating On Your Behalf
When reviewing your employment agreement, I look at the bigger picture to see if you have other claims and if it is reasonable to negotiate for a more favorable package. I want to ensure that the documents you sign are in the best interest of you and your future.
If your employer has presented you with an employment agreement, don’t sign it before speaking with an attorney. Contact me today at my Indianapolis office. Call 317-676-0776 to set up a $10 initial consultation with experienced counsel you can trust.
