Overview

Clear terms, on both sides

An employment contract sets the rules for one of the most important relationships in your working life — or, if you're an employer, across your whole team. We make sure the terms are fair, enforceable and easy to understand, and flag anything that could cause trouble later.

Employment contracts are part of our Employment Law practice. Wherever the work is well defined, we quote a fixed fee up front, so you know the cost before we start.

Employment agreement and offer letter review
Negotiation of pay, equity, notice and severance terms

How We Help

At every stage

Whether you're hiring, joining or moving on.

Review Before Signing

A plain-English read of your offer or contract, so you know exactly what you're agreeing to and where to push back.

Draft for Employers

Offer letters, employment agreements, handbooks and policies that are clear, compliant and consistent.

Negotiate & Exit

Pay, equity, notice and severance terms negotiated — and separation agreements handled cleanly when it's time to move on.

FAQ

Good to know

Should I have my employment contract reviewed before signing?

Yes. Terms on pay, equity, notice, non-competes and confidentiality can be hard to change later. A short review before you sign helps you understand exactly what you're agreeing to and where there is room to negotiate.

Are non-compete clauses enforceable in California?

California limits most non-compete clauses heavily, though confidentiality and trade-secret protections still apply. We explain what is and isn't enforceable for your situation so nobody relies on a clause that won't hold.

Do you draft contracts for employers too?

Yes. We prepare offer letters, employment agreements, contractor agreements and handbooks for employers, built to be clear, compliant and consistent across your team.
