How We Can Help Secure Your Severance Package

We represent employees in severance pay negotiations and all other employee rights issues throughout Northern California, including San Francisco, Oakland and Marin County. While our San Francisco harassment and discrimination law firm works with all levels of employees engaged in severance agreement negotiations, the majority of employees entitled to such agreements are executives, managers or staff with employment contracts.

We will listen to your goals and the circumstances in which you find yourself. We tailor our negotiations to address your concerns, and draft agreements which may include:

  • Exercise of stock options

With assertive representation, an employment attorney can help maximize your severance benefits and position you to take advantage of future opportunities. Depending on your circumstances and the strength of your case, you may have considerable power to shape an agreement to your advantage.

Severance Agreements For Victims Of Workplace Discrimination

If you have been the victim of sexual harassment, employment discrimination or racial harassment, you may be in a position to negotiate a favorable severance agreement, by agreeing to forgo any future legal action against the employer.

Alternatively, you may be benefit more, both legally and financially, by filing a discrimination or harassment lawsuit against your employer, detailing the alleged discrimination or harassment you experienced in the workplace. From sexual harassment cases to racial harassment lawsuits in San Francisco, our attorneys are prepared to represent you.

We can discuss these possibilities with you, and advise you of the best path to take. Often times, severance agreements arising from discrimination or harassment contain additional clauses requiring your employer to implement training to prevent future occurrences.
