Employment Agreements

Employees are the lifeblood of every company. But it’s difficult for employers to trust employees with their most sacred proprietary information, including trade secrets, customer lists, and financial data. Well-drafted employment agreements give employers peace of mind that they’re protected when they enter and exit employment relationships.

At Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig, we recognize what’s at stake when you negotiate and enter an employment agreement. We work closely with clients to negotiate and draft executive employment agreements that align with their business interests, avoid unreasonable obligations, and are consistent with industry practice.

Our experience with employment agreements

Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig lawyers help clients mitigate risk throughout the employment relationship. To achieve this goal, we work closely with our clients to understand their needs and goals before outlining any contract terms.

At the start of the employment relationship, we help clients draft clear, concise terms that address executive compensation, benefits, and post-benefit restrictions. Throughout the employee lifecycle, we help clients adjust contractual terms to match their business objectives. We also help clients consider potential issues that may arise in the event of termination. Our agreements contemplate worst-case scenarios and include remedies for contractual breaches and employee misconduct.

Our goal is to give clients confidence that their agreements are valid and enforceable and that their financial and intellectual resources are secure. And if they face litigation over the terms of an employment agreement, our lawyers are on hand to defend their interests vigorously.
