Severance Agreement Review & Negotiation Attorney Chicago, Illinois
Attorney Laura Reasons reviews and negotiates severance agreements with care, clarity, and a strong focus on your long-term best interests.
Why Severance Agreements Matter
A severance package often comes with strings attached. By signing, you may be waiving your right to take legal action later, even if you were wrongfully terminated or experienced discrimination or retaliation at work.
Laura works closely with employees to:
- Understand the terms of a severance or separation agreement
- Identify potential legal claims that could support a higher payout
- Negotiate for improved terms, including more compensation, continued benefits, or clearer language
- Clarify restrictive covenants, like non-compete or non-solicitation clauses
- Address repayment or confidentiality provisions that may not be in your favor
Many severance agreements come with a built-in window for review, often 21 days. Even if you’re feeling pressure to sign quickly, it’s worth pausing to get legal advice first. Contact Reasons Employment Law to schedule a severance review and take control of your next steps.
