Your Severance Amount Is Negotiable.
Companies and their executives part ways all the time. Sometimes, the executive leaves to pursue a more attractive and lucrative opportunity. Other times, however, deteriorating relationships, disputes or broader economic and strategic factors lead to an involuntary or even acrimonious separation. Regardless of the why surrounding an executive’s departure, how the relationship ends – the terms of a severance package – will play an oversized role in determining the executive’s financial and career future.
At Halunen Law, we work with C-suite executives, managers and other high-level employees across the country to negotiate severance packages that maximize the economic benefits they receive upon separation. We leverage powerful negotiating skills and unmatched employment law experience to ensure that severance agreements provide the security, clarity and peace of mind our clients deserve after years – or decades – of hard work and sacrifice
Negotiating a New Beginning at the End of Your Tenure.
If your tenure at your current employer is coming to an unexpected or undesired end, it can be a time of anxiety and uncertainty, as well as one tinged with bitterness or resentment. It can also be a moment of opportunity – if you have the allies and advocates who know how to seize it.
Halunen Law’s employment lawyers negotiate robust and generous severance packages all the time, just like your employer does. Working closely with you, we can develop an approach that puts you in the strongest possible position to obtain more compensation, benefits and concessions, as well as minimize any limitations on your post-departure business activities and opportunities.
Unfortunately, too many otherwise business-savvy executives simply take whatever their employer gives them in a severance package – if the company offers anything. But signing a severance or separation agreement without negotiating or consulting an experienced labor and employment attorney can be a costly error.
Even if you think you have no leverage, even if you want to put this chapter in your life behind you as quickly as possible, don’t shortchange yourself and your family. Let us help you turn the page on this chapter of your career in a way that lays the foundation for a prosperous new one.
Your employer may have decided to end your tenure, but you can choose to take advantage of your circumstances rather than just take what your employer offers. At Halunen Law, we understand how personal and consequential career transitions can be. That’s why we use our experience, negotiating acumen and commitment to secure severance packages that benefit you as much as you benefited your employer.
