How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review an Early Termination Agreement in New York

In 2022, a personal client in New York sought assistance with the review of an early termination agreement related to an employment transition. The client found themselves in a unique situation, as their manager was starting a new venture with the company’s approval, and they wanted to ensure a smooth transition while safeguarding their interests regarding year-end bonus guarantees, vesting, and non-compete clauses. Clarity on these matters was crucial for the client to navigate this change successfully. As a result, the client received six proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $225 to $700, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of less than one week.
