Michigan Employment Law Attorney

About Executive Employment Contracts

As an executive seeking employment either with a new position within your current company, a promotion or relocating to a new firm altogether, we would advise you to contact a Michigan employment lawyer to assist you in negotiating your contract. It is important that you understand all the legal implications of an employment agreement so that you are guaranteed the terms of the contract that you expect.

The hiring of an executive may be unlike that of a regular employee, depending on the skill and experience of that executive. Negotiations may be necessary to reach an agreement on the specifics of his or her responsibilities and the incentives offered, as well as any severance if his or her employment is terminated.  At Sommers Schwartz, our employment law clients range from executives, to senior managers, to long term family businesses. We are therefore well-versed in the complex issues of executive contacts and can advise you accordingly. Call our office to schedule a consultation to discuss how we can assist you.        

Executive Employment Lawyer Providing Experienced Negotiation Abilities

When negotiating a contract, there are a number of points of which you should be aware, both in terms of what should be included in the contract as well as what should be avoided. Conditions that may need to be addressed include to whom you will report under the new terms of your contract, the possibility of relocation, your specific responsibilities and your expected contributions to the company. We can create a tailor-made contract per your requirements, in order to protect your interests in the company. Always use an attorney of your choice who has your interests in mind.

As an executive seeking employment, you need to ensure that your contact is in your best interest and that you are guaranteed the compensation you deserve.  Contact a Michigan employment law attorney at our firm to retain professional legal counsel.
