Severance Package Review Needed
Publicada el 2026-07-24
Descripción de la oferta
I am seeking an experienced Illinois employment attorney to review my executive severance agreement and the response letter I have drafted before I submit it to my former employer. I was employed for nearly nine years as a Vice President and was terminated by the company. The employer has offered a severance package that includes a broad release of claims in exchange for payments over three months. My response deadline is July 28, 2026. I need an attorney to: Severance Agreement Review Review all terms for legal accuracy and enforceability. Identify provisions that are not in my best interest. Verify compliance with Illinois and federal employment laws. Review severance payments, benefits, confidentiality, non-disparagement, restrictive covenants, and release language. Assess any risks related to the employer's financial condition and whether additional payment protections should be requested. Response Letter Review Review my proposed response requesting revisions to the agreement. Strengthen the legal arguments where appropriate. Ensure the tone is professional and persuasive. Improve organization, wording, and formatting. Recommend any additional revisions or negotiation points before submission. The ideal attorney has significant experience with executive severance agreements, employment law, and severance negotiations, and can provide practical advice on whether my requested revisions are reasonable and likely to improve my position.
