QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR AN EXECUTIVE TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY VS NEGOTIATE THEIR CONTRACT THEMSELVES?
Hiring an attorney has many benefits and there are many ways to effectively use an attorney.

First, if an executive is able to negotiate the agreement, an attorney can simply review the agreement for red flags and for anything else that the executive may have not asked for but could have obtained.

Second, an executive can use an attorney to advise on what to ask for and how to negotiate the agreement.

Finally, an attorney can directly negotiate the contract on behalf of the employee.

HOW MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE NEGOTIATING EXECUTIVE CONTRACTS?
Over 20 years, both as in-house counsel and as a private law firm attorney.
