Should I Hire An Attorney To Negotiate For Me When I Leave My Job?

Often, when an employer is getting ready to get rid of an employee, the employee can read the writing on the wall. In such cases, the employee may be well-served in trying to negotiate a package in order to leave voluntarily. While employees can negotiate on their own, it may be a good idea to hire an experienced employment attorney to negotiate on your behalf.

There are several reasons why you should consider hiring an employment attorney to negotiate for you. Among them are:

• An attorney can help negotiate higher severance pay, bonus payments, stock options, and benefits coverage that you might otherwise miss.

• An attorney can spot problematic clauses like non-compete provisions, non-disparagement clauses, or confidentiality clauses that could limit your future career opportunities.

• An attorney can also negotiate for a neutral reference letter orf an agreed-upon statement regarding your departure.

• An attorney can take the emotion out of negotiating with your employer, acting as an impartial party.
