I will review your severance agreement, identify red flags and draft a counter offer
Leveling the playing field against corporate HR and legal departments
About this Gig
Never sign a severance agreement without professional review. HR designed that contract to protect the company, strip you of your legal rights, and pay you the absolute minimum.
I specialize in analyzing severance packages to uncover hidden traps, excessive non-compete clauses, and overbroad non-disparagement agreements. Beyond just identifying red flags, I empower you to negotiate a substantially better exit package.
What this Gig provides:
Identification of claims you are unknowingly giving up
Analysis of Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation restrictions
COBRA (healthcare) and PTO payout verification
Drafting powerful counter-offers to increase your financial payout
If you were laid off, forced to resign, or part of a reduction in force (RIF), you have leverage. I will help you safely push back on HR's "final offer" and draft the precise corporate language needed to secure additional weeks of pay, extended benefits, and a neutral professional reference.

Business (corporate)

FAQ
Can I actually negotiate a severance package?
Absolutely. HR often presents it as a "take it or leave it" deal, but most companies have a buffer to offer more if challenged professionally.
What are the most common red flags?
Overly broad Non-Competes that prevent you from working elsewhere, and clauses that allow the company to cancel your payout at their discretion.
How fast can you review this?
I have a 7-day deadline. I offer expedited delivery options in the gig extras to accommodate strict signing deadlines.
