Did your employer fail to abide by the terms of an employment contract, or is your boss attempting to hold you to certain terms of a contract? Just because a contract was signed does not necessarily mean that its terms can be enforced because of a multitude of statutory and common law factors. When it comes to employment law, employees and employers often intensely fight the meaning and scope of certain contracts. Whether you are attempting to negotiate an employment contract or contest an agreement, experienced legal counsel familiar with contract law and the nuances of employment law is essential!

Employers must draft fair, nondiscriminatory and legally enforceable employment contracts, severance terms, and settlement agreements in order to obtain the desired result of limiting exposure to lawsuits later down the road.
Even when there is a seemingly clear employment contract is in place, disagreements and breaches of contracts may occur. Sometimes, the parties cannot resolve the matter themselves, and they need legal assistance or even need to enforce the contract through mediation, arbitration, or in court.
Most contracts need to be in writing. For instance, both employment contracts must be in writing, must be signed by the employee, must be supported by adequate consideration (i.e., money), and should be easy to read without confusing legal jargon. Such agreements are generally drafted by a business’s attorneys and are one-sided, favoring the employer. Meanwhile, the employee is taken advantage of, signs away all of their legal rights, or simply does not get the best deal possible because they did not have their own legal representation.
