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.

Employee Separation Agreement

California

Asked on May 23, 2023

Are employee separation agreements required?

I recently left my job after two years of employment and my former employer has asked me to sign a separation agreement. I am unsure if I am legally obligated to sign this agreement or if employee separation agreements are required by law. I am hesitant to sign the agreement until I have a better understanding of my rights and obligations.

Gagandeep K.

Answered May 30, 2023

When an employee leaves a company, an employer can offer severance agreement/separation agreement/termination agreement, where employer offers a severance package to the employee (e.g., lump sum money, extended benefits) in exchange for limiting their liability (e.g., release of certain legal claims, confidentiality provisions). An employee can decide whether to accept the severance agreement as-is, whether to negotiate for more favorable terms or to reject the offer. You may consult an attorney to review the severance agreement to understand your rights, obligations, the benefit you are receiving, and the claims you are waiving.

Independent Contractor Agreement

New York

Asked on Dec 2, 2024

What are the key provisions that should be included in an Independent Contractor Agreement?

I recently started working as an independent contractor for a company, and I have been asked to sign an Independent Contractor Agreement. I want to ensure that I am protected and that my rights and responsibilities are clearly outlined in the contract. I have heard that there are certain key provisions that should be included in such an agreement, but I am not sure what they are. I want to seek legal advice to understand what provisions should be included in the agreement to protect my interests and ensure a fair working relationship with the company.

Damien B.

Answered Dec 3, 2024

Hello! My name is Damien Bosco. My law office is in Long Island City, across from Manhattan. Some key provisions of an independent contract agreement include the scope of work and the payment terms. An important provision discusses intellectual property rights. Define who owns any work product, intellectual property, or inventions created during the contract. Consider whether you want to retain rights to your pre-existing work or methodologies. There are other provisions also such as Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Clauses. You may want an attorney to review your full Agreement to suggest additions or edits. Feel free to reach out with any more questions!

Contract Termination Agreement

Florida

Asked on Nov 1, 2021

Review of severance agreement and decision to contest

I am 70 y/o and was laid-off after 3 1/2 years of my employment as a Medical Affairs Senior Liaiason at Lundbeck LLC as part of a company reoganization last week. The company has offered a severance package supposedly based on a Company "Severance Plan" they will make available on request. In the severance agreement, they have listed all of the employees were were considered for elimination with respective ages and which were retained vs eliminated - at least one other person in my age range was eliminated while one was retained - looks like they have covered their bases on issue of age discrimination. Just wondering based on my age and ability to gain comparable re-employment at this point in my life if there is a case for increase in compenstion irrespective of their standard "severance plan" that is in place.

Diane D.

Answered Nov 12, 2021

You don't have to sign or accept the severance package. However, if you don't, they may not give you the severance package. If you need help with the review, let me know. Remember, if you file suit, you have the burden of proving your case by a preponderance of the evidence.

Termination Of Employment Agreement

Ohio

Asked on Jul 7, 2025

What are the legal requirements and potential consequences of firing an employee?

I am a small business owner and recently had to terminate one of my employees due to consistent underperformance and violation of company policies. I want to ensure that I am following all the necessary legal requirements and understand the potential consequences of firing an employee, such as potential lawsuits or unemployment claims, in order to protect my business and avoid any legal complications.

Gary S.

Answered Jul 25, 2025

Thank you for opportunity to respond to this very important question. Here is a list of legal considerations anytime an employee needs to be terminated. Please advise if you would like more information regarding any one or more of these items: Legal Requirements: At-Will Employment: In most states, including Ohio, employees can be fired at any time for any legal reason or no reason, unless there’s a contract stating otherwise. Unlawful Termination: Employers cannot fire someone based on race, sex, religion, national origin, disability, age (40+), or other protected characteristics. Retaliation: It’s illegal to fire an employee for reporting discrimination, harassment, wage violations, or whistleblowing. Notice and Final Pay: Some states require advance notice or payment of final wages within a set time. In Ohio, final paychecks are required to be paid by the next regular payday. Also, the federal WARN Act regulates notification requirements for mass layoffs by employers with 100+ employees. Potential Consequences: Wrongful Termination Lawsuits: Fired employees may sue if they believe the termination was discriminatory, retaliatory, or violated a contract. Unemployment Claims: The employee may be eligible for unemployment benefits, and your company’s rates may increase. Reputational Harm: Poorly handled terminations can damage morale and your business’s reputation. Clearly documenting the termination and the factors leading to it will help reduce risk. Also, a legal review is recommended. This response is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is formed by this communication. You should consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction for advice regarding your specific situation.
