Severance Packages in Kings County
Brooklyn employers may offer severance packages as a goodwill gesture or to protect themselves from potential legal claims. However, these packages often favor the employer unless they are reviewed by an attorney. We help clients determine whether the compensation offered is fair, whether non-compete clauses or waivers should be challenged, and ensure the final deal is in your best interest.
