The single greatest risk mitigation tool at an employer’s disposal is a valid and enforceable employment agreement. Our clients regularly turn to us to prepare agreements on their behalf in order to minimize liability on termination, protect confidential information and prevent unfair competition once the employment relationship ends. We stay abreast of legislative and common law changes that may impact the enforceability of an employment agreement, particularly clauses seeking to restrict an employee’s rights to notice of termination and severance pay.
