Executive Employment Agreements

Brooklyn executives, physicians, and senior professionals need employment agreements that address base compensation, performance bonuses, equity grants, benefits, severance triggers, and change-of-control provisions. We draft and negotiate executive contracts that protect your interests while creating a clear framework for the employment relationship. Our attorneys handle agreements for professionals at Brooklyn's hospitals, tech companies, financial firms, and nonprofit organizations.

Offer Letter Review and Negotiation

An offer letter is often the first document that defines your employment relationship, and many Brooklyn professionals sign without understanding the binding obligations it creates. We review offer letters to identify problematic terms, negotiate improvements to compensation and benefits, and ensure the document aligns with any representations made during the interview process.

Non-Compete and Restrictive Covenant Analysis

New York courts evaluate non-compete agreements based on reasonableness of scope, duration, and geographic reach. For Brooklyn professionals considering a new position, we analyze existing non-competes to determine enforceability and advise on strategies for navigating these restrictions. For employers, we draft restrictive covenants calibrated to survive judicial scrutiny under current New York case law.

Independent Contractor Agreements

Misclassification of employees as independent contractors exposes Brooklyn businesses to significant liability under federal and state law. We draft independent contractor agreements that reflect the actual nature of the working relationship and help businesses structure compliant arrangements. We also advise workers who believe they have been misclassified on their rights and options.

Commission and Bonus Structures

Sales professionals and commissioned employees in Brooklyn need clear contractual terms governing how commissions are earned, calculated, and paid, particularly upon termination. We draft commission agreements and bonus plans that comply with New York Labor Law requirements and reduce the risk of disputes.

Employment Contract Considerations for Brooklyn Professionals

Brooklyn's job market spans technology, healthcare, creative industries, hospitality, and professional services. Each sector has its own norms around employment contracts, from the equity-heavy agreements common at DUMBO tech startups to the restrictive covenants standard in Downtown Brooklyn medical practices. Understanding your industry's contract conventions helps you identify terms that fall outside the norm and negotiate more effectively.

Kings County courts apply New York's general framework for evaluating employment agreements, including the reasonableness standard for non-competes and the statutory requirements for wage and commission payments. Brooklyn employees changing jobs within the borough's competitive market should pay particular attention to non-solicitation clauses that could restrict their ability to work with former clients or colleagues.
