The typical severance agreement review costs a flat fee of one hour of the attorney’s time, around $450 (which may vary if the consultation requires substantial pre-call document review, as determined by the firm). We set these up remotely, review your severance agreement and any other relevant documents, and hold a 45-minute phone conference to:

• Advise you on your rights and obligations under the agreement.
• Point out any language in the agreement draft that is of concern, legally.
• Discuss the circumstances of your exit to determine if you have any legal claims against the company and how strong those claims may be (always with only the information we have at that time).
• Discuss the possibility of negotiating any terms and if so, how to go about that.
• Discuss the TWC unemployment and fraud-avoidance issues.
• And most importantly – answer any questions that you have.
