Trust the Legal Guidance of the Law Offices of Glen D. Mangum

Many employers have come to the conclusion that, even if they do not believe that they have behaved themselves unlawfully, or believe that they have no legal liability for terminating an employee, it is a wise business decision to offer a departing employee a severance payment in exchange for a release of liability.

If you are considering whether to sign a proposed severance agreement, or not, please call me and schedule a consultation appointment. Prior to consultation, I will review the proposed agreement for any pitfalls or provisions that I think you should be aware of, and at the consultation, we will discuss these matters.

In some cases, better terms of severance than what are initially offered can be negotiated with the employer.

In other cases, signing the agreement, and releasing the employer from liability, may not be the best course of action.
