Ohio Termination / Separation Attorneys

When executives and managers are faced with job termination or the option of early retirement, a number of financial and tax issues must be considered. Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC has counseled and represented executives and management through what can be a confusing and daunting process. Working through the language of your non-compete agreement, confidentiality provisions, consulting with our tax attorneys regarding Golden Parachute issues, and determining the best strategy for avoiding certain kinds of taxes, we protect your interests and rights. Severance agreements and corporate contracts can be ambiguous, demanding a comprehensive knowledge of the law and how to protect important rights that could affect your future job prospects.

We will review your employment situation, contractual obligations, and work diligently to protect your  interests. To schedule a consultation, contact the Ohio and Kentucky wrongful discharge lawyers at Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC. Located in Cincinnati, we represent clients in Hyde Park, Mt. Lookout, Lebanon, and Western Hills, as well as in the Kentucky communities of Florence, Covington, and Newport.

Evaluating Your Situation

As attorneys experienced in the areas of separation and severance agreements, we explain and review the following issues regarding executive and management termination and separation:

• Enforceability
• Tax liability
• Non-compete provisions
• Golden parachute provisions

Negotiating Your Severance Package

Since executives and managers are often bound by non-compete agreements, it may be in your interest to negotiate certain severance terms with your employer. Depending on your situation, you may be able to negotiate a modification of its terms in exchange for other benefits such as medical insurance coverage, bonus pay, or other items. Likewise, you may be able to extend medical benefits or negotiate unused sick pay. As your wrongful discharge lawyers, experienced in executive severance agreements, we will evaluate your options, providing strategies that help you leverage your interests with your employer.
