Executive Compensation / Severance Terms

Level-Headed Negotiation of Benefits
and Employment Terms

Executives possess a wealth of knowledge.  As they build track records of success and achievement, their experience and knowledge become valuable resources that are very important to their employers.  Employers hire lawyers and other professionals to protect their interests when negotiating employment terms and contracts with their executives and senior-level managers.  Doesn’t it make sense that it is important for executives and senior-level managers also to have experienced, quality legal representation to protect their own interests through all phases of employment? This is particularly true when an executive or senior-level manager is making a job or career change due to promotion, relocation, reassignment, or transfer.

At the Law Offices of S. David Worhatch, you will find an Ohio executive compensation lawyer who understands the importance of paying attention to the details that make the difference in protecting your career.  If you are in Northeast Ohio, or are planning on relocating or transferring to this area, and you need help with developing a successful strategy for negotiating the terms of an executive employment contract or an executive severance package, contact us today.  We will sit down with you and explain your rights and outline your options.  And we can take the lead, if desired, in direct negotiations with your current employer or new employer on your behalf. 

Ohio Executive Compensation Lawyer

Being hired or promoted into a new executive position is exciting.  It is critical to take a level-headed look at the options available to you.  The Law Offices of S. David Worhatch can negotiate terms of your employment such as salary, title, duties, bonuses, and benefits at the time of hire to protect your interests and your security.  Negotiating the terms of your employment can eliminate some of the unknowns such as being fired suddenly, and guarantee benefits such as relocation expenses, vacation pay, retirement plans, and executive severance pay packages.

Attorney S. David Worhatch has the sort of hands-on experience executives and senior-level managers can rely on.  Before forming his own law firm in 1989, Attorney S. David Worhatch was in-house counsel for two major companies in Northeast Ohio and handled all employment-related matters for those companies.  He has negotiated over 1,500 employment contracts and severance or separation agreements on behalf of both employers and employees.  This is the type of experience executives and senior-level managers look for when seeking help with executive compensation terms, employment contract negotiation, and addressing separation or severance packages.

Negotiating these terms is necessary not only at the time of hire, but throughout the employment process.  Shrewd negotiation is important for an executive who wants to modify the current terms of his or her employment.  An employee may be offered another job from a competitor or want to periodically revisit their current employment situation.  The Law Offices of S. David Worhatch is also familiar with the law pertaining to non-compete agreements.
