Severance Package Negotiations

If your position has been eliminated or you have been asked to resign, you may be able to obtain a more favorable settlement than initially proposed through severance package negotiations, especially if the circumstances surrounding your dismissal are unusual or if you have a legitimate complaint regarding the legality of the discharge.  In exchange for your severance, you provide the company a release of all legal claims against the company, as well as a non-disparagement agreement whereby you agree not to speak unfavorably about the company.  Employers frequently like to see their employees leave quietly, providing more bargaining power for you to obtain the monetary compensation that you need as you begin your search for future employment.
