Severance Agreement
Connecticut
Severance agreement and non-disparagement clauses?
I recently left my job and was offered a severance agreement. In the agreement there were two clauses, a non-compete clause and a non-disparagement clause. I am concerned about the implications of these two clauses and how they will impact my future career prospects. I am looking for clarification on the language of the clauses and what I am allowed to do, and not do, once I have signed the agreement.
Thomas L.
I have drafted hundreds of non-competes and non-solicitiations (usually for the employer - always better to hire the other side when hiring lawyers). Thus I can provide you a review of the agreement in light of your career, and suggestions for improvement.

Podcast Contract
Georgia
Can a podcast contract restrict the host from starting a new podcast after the termination of the current one?
I am a podcast host who is currently under contract with a podcast network, and I am considering starting a new podcast once my current contract ends. However, I am unsure if the contract I signed prohibits me from doing so, as it contains clauses about exclusivity and non-compete agreements. I would like to know if it is legally permissible for the network to restrict me from starting a new podcast after the termination of the current one, and what steps I can take to ensure my rights are protected in this situation.

1. Post-Termination Non-Compete Clauses It is legally possible for a contract to include a post-termination non-compete, but these are subject to limitations. Courts generally look at: Duration (e.g., 6–12 months) Geographic scope (less relevant for digital content but still noted) Scope of restriction (e.g., same topic, format, or competing platforms) If the restriction is overly broad—like prohibiting you from podcasting at all—it may be unenforceable depending on your state’s laws. 2. Exclusivity Clauses (During the Contract) Many podcast contracts prohibit hosting or producing other shows during the term. That’s typical. The issue becomes: does the language extend after the agreement ends? If so, you’ll want to review: Whether it’s a true non-compete How long it lasts If there’s compensation tied to the restriction 3. IP & Ownership Check whether the network claims ownership over: Your host name or likeness The podcast’s brand or concept Past episodes and subscriber lists They may argue that launching a “similar” show is derivative or confusingly similar if they own your original show’s IP. What You Can Do: Review the exact contract language—pay close attention to any clause that mentions exclusivity, non-compete, or “work for hire.” Consult with an attorney (I’d be glad to assist) to evaluate whether the restrictions are enforceable or negotiable. If you're not yet at the end of the agreement, you may also consider negotiating a clean exit or carve-out for future projects. Let me know if you’d like help reviewing your agreement—I can walk you through what’s enforceable, what’s negotiable, and how to position yourself for creative freedom moving forward.

Real Estate License Agreement
Florida
Can a Real Estate License Agreement be terminated if the licensee fails to meet certain sales quotas?
Can a Real Estate License Agreement be terminated if the licensee fails to meet certain sales quotas? I am a real estate agent who recently signed a License Agreement with a brokerage firm that includes a provision stating that if I do not meet a minimum number of sales within a specified time period, my license may be terminated. I am concerned about the potential consequences of not meeting these quotas and would like to know if this provision is legally enforceable.

If you're wondering whether your brokerage can drop you for not hitting your sales numbers, the short answer is yes, as long as that condition is clearly laid out in your written contract. In Florida, contract freedom is taken seriously, especially in independent contractor relationships like the one most real estate agents have with their brokerages. Let’s Talk Legal Groundwork Florida courts have consistently upheld performance-based termination clauses. Since you're probably working as an independent contractor, not an employee, your agreement is governed by standard contract law. Florida Statutes Chapter 475, which oversees real estate licensing, doesn’t block brokerages from setting minimum performance expectations, or from ending agreements when those expectations aren’t met. What matters is how clearly the contract is written, whether it aligns with Florida real estate regulations, and whether it passes the fairness test. If the terms are specific, compliant, and not outrageously one-sided, courts usually won’t interfere. What Makes a Sales Quota Clause Stick The key is clarity. Your agreement should spell out the exact quota, how often you’re expected to meet it, and what happens if you don’t. Something vague like "maintain a reasonable sales volume" is unlikely to hold up. But if the contract says, "you must close 12 transactions every 12 months," that’s enforceable. Your brokerage also has to follow the proper process if they decide to terminate. They need to notify the Florida Real Estate Commission and pay you for any commissions you’ve already earned under your agreement. Once a commission is earned (usually when you’ve procured a ready, willing, and able buyer on the agreed terms) it can’t be taken away simply because your affiliation ends. Florida courts have consistently upheld this principle. See Shuler v. Allen, 76 So. 2d 879 (Fla. 1955). Courts won’t usually step in unless the quota provision is so one-sided that it becomes legally “unconscionable,” which is a pretty high bar. Even a tough market isn’t enough to meet that standard if you signed off on specific numbers. What Happens If You're Terminated for Not Meeting Quotas? First, your license itself stays intact. Getting terminated doesn’t cancel your real estate license with the state. It just means you can’t practice until you link up with a new brokerage. You’ll need to affiliate with a new broker if you want to keep working in the field. You should still be paid for any commissions you earned before the termination. But don’t assume you’re entitled to commissions from deals that close after you’re let go. Unless your contract specifically says you are, you won’t be. How to Protect Yourself Check if your contract includes a cure period. Many agreements give you a window—say, 60 days—to turn things around after you’ve been notified of a performance issue. That’s your chance to meet the quota and avoid termination. It’s also a good idea to document your sales efforts and keep a record of market conditions. If your brokerage works across different markets and applies quotas the same way everywhere, regardless of local trends, you might have grounds to negotiate fairer terms. If you’re new to the field, try negotiating for lower quotas during your first year. Many brokerages are open to this, knowing that new agents need time to build momentum. When You Should Talk to an Attorney If your quota seems unrealistically high for your market, or if the termination process seems off, it’s worth getting legal advice. The same goes if your brokerage tries to withhold commissions you’ve already earned or hits you with penalties that aren’t spelled out in your contract. A Florida real estate attorney can go over your agreement with you and let you know where you stand. Even if a quota clause is enforceable, that doesn’t mean you have zero negotiating power. If you’ve been a solid producer but are going through a rough patch, many brokerages would rather work with you than lose you.
