How We Help Executives

📑 Severance Agreement Review & Negotiation

Employers often present severance agreements that include compensation, stock options, and restrictive covenants. We help you:

• Evaluate whether the package is fair.

• Negotiate better terms on pay, bonuses, and benefits.

• Protect equity, stock options, and RSUs.

• Limit or challenge overbroad non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.

⚖️ Employment Contract Negotiation

From base salary and incentive plans to change-of-control provisions, your employment contract sets the tone for your career. We assist with:

• Reviewing and revising employment contracts before signing.

• Negotiating compensation structures and bonus plans.

• Addressing termination “for cause” vs. “without cause” provisions.

• Drafting protective language around equity and benefits.

🔒 Non-Compete & Restrictive Covenant Disputes

Arizona law enforces only reasonable restrictions. If your agreement limits your ability to work, we:

• Evaluate enforceability under Arizona law.

• Negotiate modifications to scope, geography, and duration.

• Defend against enforcement actions.

• Help you transition to new opportunities without violating restrictions.

🚨 Wrongful Termination & Retaliation

Executives are not immune from unlawful treatment. We represent leaders who are:

• Wrongfully terminated in violation of the Arizona Employment Protection Act (A.R.S. § 23-1501).

• Retaliated against after reporting discrimination, harassment, or legal violations.

• Denied wages, bonuses, or benefits owed under contract.
