FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Should I sign a severance agreement right away?
Not before reading it carefully. It often contains a release of claims, so it is worth having a lawyer review it.
Are independent contractors treated differently from employees?
Yes, but the label in a contract does not decide it. The actual working relationship matters.
Do you represent both employers and employees?
We act for both, in different matters. We check for conflicts before accepting an engagement.
