Executive Offers & Severance
An executive offer or departure can shape compensation, reputation and the next stage of a career. I advise executives on both sides of that transition, bringing experience from the company side of senior employment negotiations.
Executive offers and employment agreements
I review offer letters, employment agreements, compensation and equity terms, change-of-control protections and severance provisions. The goal is to understand the full package, identify the terms that matter most and develop a negotiation strategy that reflects your priorities.
Severance and negotiated departures
I advise on separation agreements, restrictive covenants and the communications surrounding an exit. Financial terms are part of the picture; the timing, announcement and effect on your next opportunity can matter just as much.
When to get in touch
Contact me when you receive an offer or separation proposal, before signing. At the initial conversation, we can discuss the decision timeline, your priorities and the scope of the proposed engagement. Document sharing follows the firm’s intake process.
