Employment Counsel & Contract Negotiations
O’Malley & Madden, P.C. Can Help With
Employment Contracts
Any employee offered a contract, whether at the time of hiring or upon separation, should always have the contract reviewed by an experienced employment attorney to ensure that the employee’s interests are protected. Our attorneys review and analyze key contractual terms, including compensation, bonus, and equity terms, restrictive covenants, confidentiality, dispute resolution, and arbitration clauses, as well as termination and severance provisions. We negotiate revisions as needed and advise employees on how to protect their interests best.
Restrictive Covenants & Equity Agreements
Restrictive covenants that follow employees after separation, such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses, are often complex. We provide clear reviews and practical advice to help employees understand their rights and avoid being unfairly limited after leaving a job. We explain the terms, assess risks, negotiate revisions when possible, and litigate when necessary.
Severance Agreements
Severance agreements are often beneficial to a newly separated employee who may require financial support while searching for suitable employment. Having an experienced and knowledgeable attorney review a proposed severance agreement is essential. Our attorneys ensure fairness throughout the process by evaluating the terms and waiving potentially valuable claims, providing strategic advice, and negotiating to reach an appropriate resolution that allows for a successful transition to new employment.
Employer Advice & Counsel
Compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations is essential in ensuring both employees and employers are protected. Our firm has extensive experience working with employers to ensure legal compliance and minimize the risk of litigation. We conduct proactive audits, training, and reviews of employee handbooks and policies to identify gaps early and implement practical solutions. We offer guidance on discrete issues, including hiring, discipline, leaves of absence, employee complaints, and employee separation, to provide tailored legal solutions that ensure fair treatment and legal compliance.
Business & Commercial Litigation
Legal disputes can threaten the stability of businesses and individuals alike. We represent clients in all manner of contract disputes, business torts, and commercial litigation matters. Whether defending against wrongful claims or pursuing damages for breach of contract or business torts, our firm delivers strong advocacy to protect our clients’ financial interests and resolve disputes through negotiation, litigation, or alternative dispute resolution methods.
