Pennsylvania Employment Law Attorney

Negotiating the Right Severance Package for You

In many troubled workplace situations, the best solution is to negotiate the terms of your departure. Only rarely can a toxic professional relationship be repaired to the satisfaction of all concerned.

At the Law Offices of John A. Gallagher in Paoli and five other Greater Philadelphia locations, our employment law attorneys advise professional, executive and technical personnel about their workplace rights options. In many cases, this will involve a hard look at your objectives for severance. In other cases, a lawsuit for damages related to discrimination or employer retaliation might be your most promising alternative.

Call 866-719-5614 to discuss your situation with an experienced lawyer

Our law firm offers a comprehensive consultation about your professional or executive severance options for a modest flat fee. Most of our clients find that they have more alternatives and leverage if they get advice about severance while they're still working, even if plans to reduce staff, reorganize departments or sell off divisions have already been announced.

If you've already been downsized or fired, we can often arrange a satisfactory severance as an alternative to commencing or continuing wrongful termination litigation. Our lawyers can also work toward sweetening the deal if the terms of a reduction in force or early retirement program have already been announced.

The following are among the particular terms of departure we can negotiate on your behalf:

• Payment terms
• Health insurance coverage
• Trade secrets, nonsolicitation and non-compete agreements
• Mutual release of liability and indemnification
• Terms of a recommendation or media release
• Partnership or professional practice dissolution

As experienced employment law attorneys, we understand that many of our clients would prefer a quick and satisfactory resolution of their workplace problems to the risk and uncertain pace of a lawsuit.
