Drafting Employee Contracts and Employment Agreements
At Beggs & Lane, we have knowledgeable attorneys, including Ralph Peterson and Russell Van Sickle, both of whom are board certified in labor and employment law, who are ready to assist employers in regard to all aspects of employment agreements, collective bargaining agreements, and independent contractor agreements.
Drafting Employment Contracts:
Our employment and labor law attorneys assist employers by drafting employment-related contracts such as:
- Employment contracts
- Independent contractor agreements
- Noncompetition agreements
- Confidentiality agreements
- Severance agreements
- Arbitration agreements
- Collective bargaining agreements
Our attorneys know that a "one size fits all" approach to employment-related agreements many times results in unenforceable and/or unintended results. We will sit down with you to discuss your company's particular needs so that you will have the employment-related contracts that fit your business.
Reviewing Existing Contracts:
Because employment law frequently changes — as well as employers' business needs — a contract that may have been adequate and enforceable when it was initially written in the past may no longer be so. We review existing contracts to help ensure that these contracts will still achieve the results the employer needs.
Negotiating Employment-Related Contracts:
Beggs & Lane attorneys have experience with negotiating agreements with prospective employees, existing employees, and former employees. Depending on what is best for the client, we may directly negotiate with the other party on the client's behalf or we may provide advice and counsel behind-the-scenes to assist the client in the negotiation. Our negotiating skills are also put to use in the collective bargaining process with labor unions.
Enforcing Contracts and Defending Claims of Breach of Contract:
Whether an employer needs to have its contractual rights enforced or an employer finds itself being accused of breaching a contract, Beggs & Lane is equipped with attorneys experienced in employment litigation to help employers pursue the most efficient methods to protect and preserve the employer's rights.
