Your employer may ask you to sign a contract at the beginning or end of your employment. But before you sign, you should know your rights. Often, it is wise to ask a lawyer to look over the contract to determine whether signing is in your best interests. In New York City, employees turn to Ricotta & Marks, P.C., for assistance with employment contracts.

Employment Contract and Severance Package Negotiation

By being proactive before signing a contract, you can protect your interests and prevent costly disputes. If you have already signed the contract, we will help you explore your options. We negotiate contracts to ensure that they reflect our clients’ best interests. Our lawyers review all types of employment contracts, including:

• Employment contracts
• Non-compete agreements
• Non-solicitation agreements
• Severance agreements

Non-compete Agreements

If you signed a non-compete agreement or have been asked to sign one, you may have concerns that the agreement will limit your ability to work in your field in the future. In New York, the law looks unfavorably on non-compete agreements that make it hard for people to work. If non-compete agreements contain unreasonable provisions, we are prepared to negotiate to have those provisions removed.
