Severance Agreements

North Carolina Severance Agreement Lawyer

Severance agreements are used as mechanisms to protect employers from future liability following the voluntary or involuntary termination of employment. For many executives and professionals, a severance agreement is established in conjunction with an employment agreement at the onset of employment — for use in the future. For other individuals a severance agreement is created at the termination of employment.

At the Raleigh law firm of Crawford & Crawford, LLP, our employment law attorneys advise employers and employees in matters surrounding severance agreements and other employment agreements. Contact us to speak with an experienced employment law attorney at our firm: Robert Crawford.

• Confidentiality or non-disclosure clause
