Professional and Executive Employment Negotiations

With wisdom derived from decades of experience, the attorneys at Bassey and Selesko provide legal services in professional and executive employment negotiations. Employment contracts, non-compete agreements and deferred compensation agreements are among the areas with which we assist professionals and executives.

The best time to negotiate your employment contract or non-compete agreement is before you begin your new job. An employment contract, like any written agreement, requires careful attention to detail to protect your interests and prevent future disputes. An attorney will ensure all aspects of the contract terms are fair, including the terms of severance.

When preparing deferred compensation agreements, our attorneys, many of whom are also certified public accountants, will weigh the impact of taxes and draft agreements to give you a tax advantage, where possible.

Entering into a non-compete agreement can affect your ability to earn a living unless you include terms to protect your interests. An experienced employment law attorney will make sure your non-compete agreement does not place your marketability at risk. Without favorable terms, you could be shut out of the job market, even if you are fired or laid off. Before signing a non-compete agreement with a prospective employer, it is essential to review the terms of the agreement with a knowledgeable employment law attorney.

If you are a professional or executive considering a job offer and have questions about a proposed employment contract, a deferred compensation agreement or non-compete agreement, call our law firm at (248) 355-5000 to arrange a consultation with one of our attorneys.
