Kathryn K.
I graduated from Georgetown Law in 2009 and have been practicing for fourteen years. I primarily work on commercial contracts. I specialize in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating MSAs for services companies, specializing in SaaS agreements. I have drafted online terms of service, acceptance use policies, and privacy policies for clients across a range of industries. In addition, I counsel clients on NDAs, non-solicitation/non-competition agreements, employment contracts, and commercial and residential leases. Prior to opening my own practice, I worked for four years at one of the most prestigious law firms in the world, an appellate litigation firm, the federal government, and one of the country's most renowned government contracts firms. I live in Boulder but represent clients nationwide. Although I have represented numerous Fortune 500 companies and the Defense Department, my passion is advising startups and small businesses. Like so many of my clients, I am an entrepreneur and have owned and operated three businesses (my law firm and two companies outside the legal field). I understand the needs and concerns of small business owners. I look forward to working with you.

Employee Rights
Employee Separation Agreement
Texas
Employee separation agreement non-compete clauses?
I recently left my job, and my former employer presented me with an Employee Separation Agreement, which includes a non-compete clause. I am concerned about the implications of signing such an agreement and would like to know what my rights are in regards to this clause. I am worried that signing this agreement could limit my future job prospects.
Brit B.
Depending on the scope of the non-compete clause, it could substantially limit your future job prospects. Is the non-compete limited: in time? In industry? In geographical area? To certain competitors? You can certainly negotiate the scope of the clause with your former employer so that your ability to find a similar job is not too restricted. If your employer insists upon a non-compete that is too strict, you should consider whether the severance amount being offered is worth the loss of freedom for your future job hunt.
Employee Rights
Employment Handbook
Connecticut
Employment handbook employee privacy policy?
I recently started a new job and my employer provided me with an Employment Handbook. I have read through the handbook and noticed that there is not a section on employee privacy policies. I'm concerned that the lack of an employee privacy policy could leave me vulnerable to having my personal information shared without my knowledge or consent. I am interested to learn what kind of legal protections I may have in this situation.
Thomas L.
There are numerous state and Federal laws governing your privacy, HIPAA being a notable example, so even if your employer had no handbook at all, your employer would still be subject to all these laws.

I have a question about California severance pay
Just received a notice from company for an immediate layoff
Christopher M.
There is no requirement under California law that a company pay severance to a terminated employee. Your severance pay will be controlled by either your employment agreement or employee handbook. However there are certain things, like paying you your final paycheck immediately that your company will be required to do under California law.
Employee Rights
Physician Employment Agreement
Connecticut
Physician employment agreement non-solicitation clauses?
I am a physician who is currently in the process of negotiating an employment agreement with a hospital. I am concerned about the non-solicitation clause in the agreement, as I do not want to be restricted from building relationships with my patients should I choose to leave the hospital in the future. I am looking for guidance on how to structure this clause to ensure that I am able to maintain my professional relationships with patients.
Thomas L.
Non-Competes in Connecticut for physicians are limited to 15 miles and one year. In addition, a non-compete agreement is not enforceable if the employment relationship is terminated by the employer without cause, or the agreement is not made in anticipation of, or as part of, a partnership or ownership agreement. Aks your prospective employer if they are aware of Connecticut law, and in particular Conn. Gen Stat. § 20-14p.

Can a new employer ask for my last pay stub?
My company was recently sold but the new company kept the employees. Former won’t hand over our pay information. The new company has requested that we hand in our last pay stub.
Moxie M.
The National Labor Relations Act prohibits an employer from engaging in retaliation against two (2) or more employees who band together to for mutual aid and protection, including raising concerns about lack of pay details. See link here: https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/the-law/interfering-with-employee-rights-section-7-8a1 If the company has failed to compensate employees for work, it may be a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and/or the Florida Minimum Wage Act (if the employer and employee meet coverage requirements). Florida Whistleblower Act, Fla. Stat. 448.102 provides whistleblower protection for employees who are retaliated for raising certain concerns in the workplace: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0400-0499/0448/Sections/0448.102.html Finally, if employees have an employment agreement providing pay for their employment, they may have a contractual right to those monies at their pay.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
