Employee Handbooks, Contracts & Termination/Severance Agreements

LABOR & EMPLOYMENT LAW

We prepare and negotiate the full spectrum of employment-related agreements and documents on behalf of our clients.

RL&L prepares and negotiates the full spectrum of employment-related agreements and documents on behalf of our clients. We create tailored employee handbooks/policy and procedure manuals to meet client needs and challenges. Often among those needs are employee arbitration agreements or policies, which require special, jurisdiction-specific advice. Our employment practice also includes the drafting and negotiation of employment contracts for key employees and executives and special compensation plans, severance plans, and change of control plans that help ensure that executives are retained or properly exited upon a change of control or other key events in the evolution of a company, including navigating the requirements of Section 409A penalties. We guide our clients through the various considerations and documents that play a role in choosing, establishing, implementing, and administering an equity incentive plan. For both employer and key employees, restrictive covenants (non-compete, non-solicit, non-piracy, etc.) require a lot of attention and we have counseled many employers and executives on addressing their obligations and rights under restrictive covenants.
