"Michelle drafted an excellent and unique Post Nuptial agreement which outlines a very specific "process" that will be used to divide assets in the event of divorce. Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing. Michelle rose to the challenge at a very reasonable price. Other, "meter man" attorneys would have charged at least 5x more. I highly recommend Michelle!"

Employment Agreement

Iowa

Asked on Feb 17, 2022

My wife & I thought we had a contract from her employer to buy A dental practice after working for them for three years. We now were forced to sign a contract with the people that bought him out to continue working for them so they can get 10x EBITA when they sell shortly. Do we have a case for lost wages?

We moved from 30 miles away because we were told if we worked for 3 years we could buy it for $525,000. They now want $2.5M.

Melissa L.

Answered Feb 18, 2022

The first question is do you have a fully executed written contract? This is the first step to determine the terms and conditions such as your wages if there is a breach of contract, the dentist being able to assign the contract and if it can be modified.

Employment Offer

Florida

Asked on Dec 5, 2023

Are employment offer letters standardized?

I recently received an employment offer from a company and I'm wondering if the language in the offer letter is standard or if I should be wary of any particular clauses. I'm eager to accept the offer, but I want to make sure that I'm not agreeing to anything that could later be detrimental to me.

Gill D.

Answered Jan 2, 2024

Offer letters generally have similar language in that they offer you a specific job at a specific price point. However, these letters are not always standardized and you should read the letter carefully to understand what is being offered.

Consulting Agreement

New Jersey

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

What to look for in a consulting agreement?

I have been given a consulting agreement to sign by a potential client and want to learn the things I should be looking for to make sure I am protected and not getting into a contract I dont' want to get into. Are there any terms that are most important?

Angela Y.

Answered Oct 7, 2022

In general, consulting agreements are independent contractor agreements, which in their most basic forms are someone is paying you "x" amount for work that you do with limited or no benefits (i.e. you're not an employee). Important sections include the services section (i.e. what you are doing for them), compensation, restrictive covenants (non-competes, etc.), work product and ownership or work product, and termination. Other important sections depend on what type of services you are providing and the types of risks inherent to those services.

Employment Severance Agreement

New York

Asked on Dec 13, 2022

I need advice on a severance package

I believe I was discriminated against due to disabilities. Reasonable accommodations were submitted on two separate occasions. My supervisor and HR rep mishandled the situation and I was eventually terminated. I was offered a severance in exchange for me not during them. I have documentation, communication, and recorded conversations and I'm finishing up writing out a timeline. I was offered a years salary and would like to negotiate more.

Orin K.

Answered Dec 27, 2022

Hi, it sounds like your employer may have real concerns if they've offered one year of severance. That's higher than the offers I usually see. There is always potential to negotiate something higher, but I would not be able to counsel on specifics without fully reviewing all the facts of your situation. Please feel free to contact me through the ContractsCounsel site if you would like to discuss further.

Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 10, 2024

Can an Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement prevent me from sharing my negative experiences with a company on social media?

I recently left my previous job at a company and signed an Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) during my employment. While working there, I experienced a toxic work environment, witnessed unethical practices, and was subjected to discrimination. I want to share my experiences on social media to warn others and potentially seek support, but I'm concerned that the NDA I signed may prevent me from doing so. Can the NDA legally restrict me from sharing my negative experiences with the company on social media?

Danny J.

Answered Dec 22, 2024

Employee Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) can indeed impact your ability to share certain information, but their scope and enforceability can be complex: 1. Purpose of NDAs: Typically protect confidential business information, not personal experiences. 2. Scope: The specific language in your NDA determines what information is covered. 3. Public interest: Some courts may not enforce NDAs that conceal illegal or unethical practices. 4. Whistleblower protections: Certain laws may protect disclosures of wrongdoing. 5. Defamation risks: Even without an NDA, false statements could lead to legal issues. However, the specifics of your situation require careful analysis: - The exact terms of your NDA - Nature of the information you want to share - Applicable state and federal laws - Potential risks and consequences Given the complexities and potential legal implications, it would be prudent to have a legal professional review your specific NDA and circumstances. As an experienced employment law attorney, I could: 1. Analyze your NDA's terms and enforceability 2. Advise on your rights and potential risks 3. Explore legal options for addressing your concerns 4. Guide you on how to proceed safely Would you like to discuss your situation in detail and explore your options for sharing your experiences while minimizing legal risks?

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.
