Severance Package Review and Analysis

We review severance agreements for Westchester professionals, evaluating compensation terms, restrictive covenants, release scope, and benefits provisions. Our analysis identifies areas where negotiation can meaningfully improve the overall package.

Severance Negotiation

We negotiate enhanced severance terms for Westchester professionals in healthcare, finance, corporate management, and professional services. Our negotiations target increased separation pay, extended benefits, modified non-competes, and favorable transition terms.

Release of Claims Analysis

We evaluate the release in your severance agreement and identify potential legal claims that may provide negotiation leverage. For Westchester professionals with potential discrimination, retaliation, or contract claims, this analysis can substantially affect the negotiation outcome.

Non-Compete Modification in Severance

We negotiate to modify or eliminate non-compete restrictions in Westchester severance agreements. Given Westchester's proximity to Connecticut and New York City, geographic restrictions in these agreements can significantly limit career options, making negotiation particularly valuable.

Executive Separation Agreements

We handle separation negotiations for Westchester executives, addressing all aspects of compensation, equity, benefits, and post-employment obligations.

Severance Negotiation Considerations for Westchester Professionals

Westchester professionals frequently receive severance agreements from corporate headquarters, healthcare systems, and financial services firms located in the county. These agreements tend to be well-drafted by sophisticated employer counsel, making legal review and negotiation even more important. The terms often favor the employer significantly, and accepting without negotiation typically means leaving substantial value on the table.

Cross-border considerations are relevant for Westchester professionals whose employment agreements reference Connecticut or New Jersey law. The enforceability of non-compete provisions and release of claims may differ depending on the governing law specified in the agreement. Our attorneys evaluate these multi-state issues as part of the severance review process.
