Employment
Noncompete Agreement
New York
Noncompete agreement breach consequences?
I recently left my job as an employee at a company that I had worked for for over a year. I was asked to sign a noncompete agreement when I began the job, which I did. I have since started a new job in the same industry as my former employer, which is in violation of the noncompete agreement. I am now wondering what the consequences of this breach of contract may be and am seeking legal advice.
Gregory F.
I would be happy to schedule a paid telephone consultation with you to review the non-compete agreement, advise you on its scope and enforceability, and answer your questions. Please contact me via email at greg@fidlonlegal.com to discuss.

Physician employment agreement practice management?
I am a physician who is considering a new employment opportunity and have been presented with a physician employment agreement. I am concerned about the practice management arrangements outlined in the agreement and would like to know more about what is customary in such agreements and what my rights and obligations would be. I am hoping to get some clarity on the practice management arrangements in the agreement so that I can make an informed decision.

Severance Agreement
New York
Updating a severance agreement?
I recently received a severance agreement from my employer and I am unsure if the terms are appropriate for my situation. I was laid off due to restructuring and I am looking to make sure that I am receiving the best possible terms from the agreement. I'm not sure if the agreement should be updated or if it is fair as it is currently written.
Erdal T.
I would have to see the severance to see if the terms are fair.
Employment
Employment Severance Agreement
New York
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.
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.
Employment
Stock Purchase Agreement
New York
Stock purchase agreement and non-competition clauses?
I am in the process of buying a business and have been asked to sign a Stock Purchase Agreement. I am concerned about the language in the agreement that includes a non-competition clause, and would like to understand the implications of signing the agreement and if there are any potential risks that I should be aware of.
Gregory F.
I would be happy to schedule a paid telephone consultation with you to review the non-compete (and any other provisions in the agreement), advise you on its scope and enforceability, and answer your questions. Please contact me via email at greg@fidlonlegal.com to discuss.

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.
