What is an Employment Services Agreement?

An employment services agreement is a legal contract that defines the roles, responsibilties, rights, and obligations of an employee and employer. This agreement remains in effect for as long as the employee remains a part of the company they are hired on to. When changes are necessary, amendments to the employment services agreement can be made, so long as both parties are in agreement about said changes.

The difference between an employment services agreement and an employment contract is simple: an employment contract adopts a more formal outline. However, both are equally recognized as legally binding as long as the terms of the agreement don't violate state or federal laws.

While in law school, during my clerkship with Mob Entertainment, I worked under the General Counsel, drafting cease and desist letters, demand letters, and assignment and licensing agreements.

Now in my professional practice, I continue to help clients like you protect your interests by offering affordable legal representation for all your contract and copyright needs. I can draft contracts, review proposed agreements for vulnerabilities, and negotiate terms on your behalf, as well as prepare effective cease and desist letters and demand letters tailored to your situation, including in copyright and DMCA-related matters. I will always be fair and transparent with my fees. I’d love to hear from you.

My career experience has been varied. Although litigation has been a central focus, I’ve served as Of Counsel for a franchise law firm, negotiating contracts with franchisees and vendors to ensure the best terms possible for my client. I have demonstrated acumen in leading and supervising the work of others. As an associate attorney for Shulman Rogers, I oversaw the Summer Intern Program. Throughout my career I directed the work of paralegals and legal receptionists. As a solo practitioner I employed a junior attorney. At each phase I was responsible for the work and performance of another. In my transactional practice I regularly advise clients on agreements, negotiate favorable terms on their behalf, draft agreements, interpret contractual provisions in disputes, provide opinion letters, and represent clients in mediation and arbitration. I’m accustomed to working in high stress, high stakes environments with quick deadlines, demanding and often emotional clients, while performing work that requires great detail, accuracy, and advocacy.

"Daniel provided exceptional work on a nuanced employment IP matter involving NY Labor Law Section 203-f and employee invention exceptions. He delivered detailed written memos quickly, flagged issues proactively, gave honest assessments where the law was unsettled, and provided actionable guidance rather than vague hedging. For anyone navigating an employee invention dispute or IP ownership question under New York law, Daniel is exactly the right attorney. Highly recommended."
