Severance Packages

For Legal Advice on Executive Compensation and Discharge Agreements • California Attorneys

Severance Packages, Confidentiality Agreements, Intellectual Property Rights

We live in a time when many people are being laid off or terminated due to challenging economic conditions. Hourly workers, salaried employees and executives alike often question the legality of the manner in which they are let go and of the final paycheck or severance pay that they receive.

The Westlake Village law office of Sullivan Taketa LLP is conveniently located off the Ventura Freeway, Highway 101, west of Los Angeles. Our knowledgeable attorneys — formerly in-house corporate lawyers for major employers — are prepared to answer questions concerning severance packages and issues involving termination such as the following:

Severance pay
Compensation for unused paid time off: vacation time, sick leave or personal days
Unlawful deductions on final paychecks
Employee's intellectual property rights (patents for products developed by workers while employed)
Covenants not to compete
Commissions
Bonuses
Sale territories

Answers to questions on these topics are very fact-specific and require careful scrutiny of employment contracts and layoff orders. We counsel and represent hourly workers, salaried managers, sales representatives and executives such as CEOs regarding a wide range of issues that arise about severance packages.

Our background as corporate in-house counsel has prepared us to advise employees, who benefit from our unusual depth of knowledge and understanding of the rights and responsibilities of employers. We take into account the impact of labor laws on employees who are being laid off. Put our knowledge on your side as you decide whether to accept a separation agreement or if you wish to try negotiating for better terms of termination.

Were You Denied Severance Pay or Benefits Upon Job Termination?
