REPRESENTATION OF EXECUTIVES

Working with Executives in Transition

Executives require wise and practical counsel to assist them as they negotiate in and out of employment relationships. Andrea’s history of working at the highest levels inside a corporation makes her particularly well-qualified to advise executives in transition. She is knowledgeable about the intricacies of complex employment contracts and separation packages. Clients value her steady hand during what is often an emotionally-charged time for individuals who are used to calling the shots, and who find themselves in uncertain territory. Andrea’s seasoned judgment is invaluable to clients who need to maximize the terms of new employment agreements or severance packages. Simply stated, she has a well-developed sense of what the circumstances will allow, and advises clients accordingly.

Andrea counsels executives concerning:

  • terms of employment agreements

  • confidentiality clauses

  • non-compete and non-solicitation covenants

  • termination for good cause and resignation for good reason

  • severance agreements and packages

  • benefits terms

  • exit strategies and departure announcements

Andrea’s individual clients include CEOs, C-suite executives, mid-level managers, professionals, and others. Whether she is negotiating an employment agreement or severance package that pays thousands or millions of dollars, Andrea’s clients benefit from her thoughtful, calm, and experiential advice. Executives have told Andrea they appreciate her practical guidance; they often seek her out, years after an initial engagement, when their employment situations change, again. Further, they routinely refer their colleagues who need legal advice about employment transition issues.
