Executive and Professional Employment

At Rukin Hyland Doria & Tindall, our practice extends beyond litigation. Our attorneys advise and represent executives and professionals in connection with a wide range of critical and time-sensitive employment law issues, including the negotiation, interpretation, and enforcement of employment contracts.

An employment contract offers important protections to an employee. Without an employment contract, any employee is subject to termination without cause and without any guarantee of severance pay. The employment lawyers at Rukin Hyland Doria & Tindall have helped many employees negotiate favorable employment contracts and other agreements dealing with such issues as:

• Terms of hire and term of employment
• Severance agreements outlining the pay and benefits an employee will be entitled to upon termination or layoff
• Non-solicitation agreements and non-compete agreements
• Confidential information agreements and non-disclosure agreements
• Compensation agreements establishing salary, bonuses, incentive pay and other benefits
• Health insurance, vacation time, dental and vision insurance, disability insurance, and other insurance benefits
• Retirement, stock options and pension provisions

We approach each transaction with an eye toward developing a strategy that works best based on the client's individual needs. In certain circumstances, we play a behind the scenes role, while at other times we are directly involved in negotiations with the employer's counsel. Some disputes require a heavy hand; others a soft touch. We bring to our practice the sophistication to know the difference.
