Kaplan & Cruz, PLLC, provides experienced counsel and assistance to companies across the universe of employment-related matters, with a sole focus on protecting our clients.

We can help businesses prepare for success by:
- Negotiating and defining the terms of the contract
- Including a provision that the employment is “at will” if it’s not for a specific time
- Defining specific grounds for termination
- Defining compensation and severance pay (including bonuses)
- Including a nondisclosure and noncompete clause
- Including a provision of stock options or other ownership interests the employee will acquire
- Defining what happens when an employee leaves the company (e.g., will the employee forfeit stock options or be forced to sell ownership interest in a buyout agreement?)
- Including a provision for arbitration
- Defining a list of job duties that can be included in an updated employee handbook
