G'day, my name is Michele! I work with startups, entrepreneurs and small/medium-sized businesses across the country in a wide array of industries. I help them with all of their ongoing, daily legal needs. This includes entity formation, M&A, contract drafting and review, employment, asset sale & acquisition, and business sales or shareholder exits. I'm half-Australian, half-Italian, and I've lived the last 20+ years of my life in America. I've lived all over the USA, completing high school in the deep south, graduating cum laude from Washington University in St. Louis, and then cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center. After law school I worked for the Los Angeles office of Latham & Watkins, LLP. After four intense and rewarding years there, I left to become General Counsel and VP of an incredible, industry-changing start-up called Urban Mining Company (UMC) that manufactures rare earth permanent magnets. I now work for Phocus Law where I help run our practice focused on entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs. I love what I do, and I'd love to be of help! My focus is on providing stress-free, enjoyable, and high-quality legal service to all of my clients. Being a good lawyer isn't enough: the client experience should also be great. But work isn't everything, and I love my free time. I've been an avid traveler since my parents put me on a plane to Italy at 9-months old. I'm also a music nut, and am still looking for that perfect client that will engage me to explain why Dark Side Of The Moon is the greatest album of all time. Having grown up in a remote, and gorgeous corner of Australia, I feel a strong connection to nature, and love being in the elements.

Employee Rights Legal Questions and Answers

Employee Rights

Termination Letter

Arizona

Asked on Nov 29, 2024

Can an employer terminate an employee without providing a termination letter?

I recently got terminated from my job without receiving a termination letter, and I am unsure if this is legal. I had been working at the company for several years and had a good performance record. However, I was suddenly called into a meeting with my supervisor and informed that my employment was being terminated, but no termination letter was provided to me. I am curious to know if it is mandatory for employers to issue a termination letter and if not, what are my rights as an employee in this situation?

Richard C.

Answered Jan 13, 2025

Yes, what your employer done is generally legal as AZ is an employment at will state. However, as to any rights you may have, you should thoroughly review any applicable employment agreement you may have entered into. Further, any civil rights violations, unpaid wages, and or paid stock time violations should also be considered due to the statutes of limitations pertaining to those issues.

Physician Employment Agreement

Washington

Asked on Aug 1, 2023

Physician employment agreement voting rights?

I am a physician who is currently being offered a position at a hospital and I have been asked to sign an employment agreement. I am interested in understanding my voting rights as a physician under this agreement, as I want to ensure I have a say in decisions that will affect my practice. I am seeking legal advice to ensure I understand the terms of the agreement and what rights it grants me.

Merry K.

Answered Aug 11, 2023

You would be wise to request that an attorney review the proposed employment agreement before you sign. In addition to ensuring that you would have voting rights, there are numerous other terms that should be carefully reviewed, such as non-compete language if and when you leave employment; TRAP language (usually requiring an employee to reimburse the employer if the employee receives training during his or her employment); terms and conditions of employment (such as schedule, work type, and duties); vacation hours; how disputes will be resolved; and, sometimes, future severance.

Employee Rights

Noncompete Agreement

New York

Asked on Dec 5, 2024

Can my employer enforce a non-compete agreement I signed even though I was not provided any additional compensation or benefits in return?

I recently started a new job and was asked to sign a non-compete agreement as a condition of employment. However, I just found out from a colleague that my employer has been enforcing the non-compete agreement against former employees and preventing them from working in similar roles at competing companies. I am concerned because I was not given any additional compensation or benefits in exchange for signing the agreement, and I believe it may be unfair and potentially unenforceable. Can my employer legally enforce the non-compete agreement even though I did not receive any additional compensation or benefits in return?

Damien B.

Answered Dec 6, 2024

Hello! Generally, New York courts require that a non-compete agreement be supported by adequate consideration. If the agreement is signed at the beginning of employment, the job itself may serve as adequate consideration. However, if the non-compete is signed after employment begins, the employer may need to offer additional benefits, such as a raise or promotion, for the agreement to be enforceable. There are other defenses against enforcement. For a non-compete agreement to be enforceable, it must be reasonable in terms of duration, geographic scope, and the scope of activities it restricts. A court will evaluate whether the agreement is necessary to protect the employer’s legitimate business interests, such as confidential information or customer relationships. If not, a court could rule the noncompete is not enforceable.

Employee Separation Agreement

Texas

Asked on Jul 15, 2023

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.

Answered Aug 9, 2023

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

Noncompete Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Jul 4, 2023

How does a noncompete agreement work?

I am an employee at a small business and I have recently been asked to sign a noncompete agreement. I am not sure how these agreements work and what rights I have as an employee. I am also concerned about the restrictions that could be placed on me if I sign the agreement. I want to make sure I understand the implications of signing the agreement before I do so.

Nancy B.

Answered Aug 4, 2023

In its simplest terms, a noncompete agreement in an employment context is an agreement that says you will not compete with your former employer if you ever stop working for them. It typically forbids things like: + Working for a competitor + Starting a company that sells the same services/products as your employer + Recruiting employees from your current employer after you have left that employment. One thought is that this could be requested shortly before letting an employee go just to protect the company from competition but I hope that is not the case here as it seems like an unfair use of the noncompete agreement ability in Georgia. The issues are usually the geographical scope (for example within 15 miles of Dalton, Georgia), the time period (one or two years is usually sufficient and courts do not favor long noncompete agreements), and the consideration (such as a new job - which is not applicable in your case, or more compensation).
