Executive Employment Agreements

Executive employment agreements in New York address compensation, equity, severance, change-of-control provisions, and restrictive covenants. We draft and negotiate these agreements for executives, physicians, financial professionals, and senior managers across all industries, ensuring the terms reflect current market standards and comply with applicable law.

Offer Letter Review and Negotiation

Before accepting a position, New York professionals should have an attorney review the offer letter or employment agreement. We identify problematic provisions, negotiate improved terms, and ensure the document accurately reflects what was discussed during the hiring process.

Non-Compete and Restrictive Covenant Analysis

New York has been actively considering legislation to restrict or ban non-compete agreements, but these provisions remain enforceable when reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic reach. We advise New York employers on drafting enforceable covenants and counsel employees on their obligations and options under existing agreements.

Independent Contractor Agreements

New York businesses engaging contractors must navigate federal classification standards, state labor law requirements, and local ordinances like the Freelance Isn't Free Act. We draft independent contractor agreements and advise on structuring compliant relationships.

Commission and Bonus Structures

We draft commission, bonus, and incentive compensation plans for New York businesses and employees. Our agreements address earning criteria, discretionary versus guaranteed payments, and separation entitlements, all compliant with New York wage and hour law.

Employment Contract Considerations for New York Professionals

New York employment contracts are governed by a combination of state law, federal regulations, and, for workers in New York City, additional local ordinances. The legal landscape continues to evolve, with ongoing legislative proposals around non-compete restrictions, expanded wage transparency requirements, and enhanced protections for freelance and gig workers.

Whether you are an executive reviewing a complex compensation package, a physician evaluating a hospital system's employment agreement, or a small business owner drafting contracts for your team, having an attorney who understands New York's current regulatory framework ensures your agreements comply with the law and protect your interests. Our firm advises clients across all industries and positions on employment contract matters.
