Built contract playbooks, drafting standards, review matrices, and workflows designed to help clients understand their risks clearly and move deals forward with confidence. Provided training and guidance to internal teams and leadership on contract strategy, compliance considerations, and best practices. I bring not only legal expertise, but also a practical, problem-solving mindset—translating dense legal terms into actionable business decisions and helping clients protect their interests without losing momentum.

I’m a commercial contracts attorney who helps growing companies get out of contract chaos and into something sustainable. I focus on the agreements that sit at the core of how companies operate—customer contracts, vendor deals, SaaS agreements, and supply and distribution relationships. Before going independent, I worked in private practice and embedded legal roles supporting technology, consumer goods, and manufacturing businesses. That experience shaped a practical, business-first approach to contracts: clear drafting, efficient negotiation, and advice grounded in how companies actually operate. I hold the CIPP/US credential and have completed AI governance training, which informs my work on data, privacy, and AI-adjacent risk terms commonly found in modern commercial agreements. If you want contracts that are clear, balanced, and usable by the people who sign and manage them, that’s where I’m most effective.

Termination Letter

Washington

Asked on May 29, 2025

Can I sue my employer for wrongful termination based on the contents of my termination letter?

I recently received a termination letter from my employer, which stated that I was being let go due to poor performance. However, I strongly believe that this is not true and that the real reason for my termination is discrimination based on my race. The termination letter contains several statements that I believe are false and misleading. Can I sue my employer for wrongful termination based on the contents of this termination letter?

Merry K.

Answered Jun 10, 2025

I am so very sorry to hear about your termination. One can always sue; the question is whether one can win. The content of the letter would be used as one piece of evidence; you would need to provide as much evidence as possible to win a case (or to even convince the employer to settle with you). Some of these other pieces of evidence would include such things as the performance and discipline of colleagues who are of a different race than you; evidence that demonstrates your performance was no worse than colleagues who weren't terminated; testimony from colleagues, and etc. In addition, a court would look at things such as how long you had been on the job when compared with other employees who were not fired; whether you and the colleagues used for comparison had the same/similar jobs or not; etc. If you employer has at least eight employees, you can file a complaint at no charge with the Washington State Human Rights Commission here: https://www.hum.wa.gov/file-complaint This neutral state agency will file a complaint on your behalf at the same time with the federal EEOC (which has been gutted) and HRC will conduct a neutral investigation and also try to help you settle with the employer. You can skip the State HRC and go straight to state court, but this would be challenging to do without an attorney representing you - and you'll only find an attorney to represent you if you convince him or her that you have an excellent case. I also want you to know that Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane, and King County have their own discrimination agencies, so if you were working in one of those places, you can contact the appropriate agency for help. I hope that helps. I have a long background in discrimination law, and worked at the HRC three times, and was also a City of Tacoma Human Rights Commissioner.

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.

I 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.

I 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.
