Negotiating Enhanced Severance Agreements for Senior Employees

Mar 9, 2026 | Case Studies

Background

We represent employees who have been separated from their positions and need fair severance terms, given their service to their employer and which were internally equitable to others “packages”. Recent clients included a CFO at a private credit union and a business manager for a large school district.

Key Issue

Both clients needed protection from potential claims and support transitioning to new employment, along with stronger financial and professional terms.

Resolution

We successfully negotiated enhanced severance agreements that included:

  • Improved financial terms
  • Letters of recommendation
  • Releases of potential claims
  • Indemnification protections from the Company for tasks performed by our client while our client was employed

These agreements helped the clients move forward with greater financial security and clearer professional prospects.
