Severance & Separation Agreements

Severance & Separation Agreements focus on the legal and financial terms surrounding an employee’s exit from a job under California law. This category covers severance pay, release of claims, non-disparagement clauses, confidentiality provisions, non-compete limits, and compliance with California’s strict requirements for enforceable agreements. Our posts explain what employers can and cannot require, common red flags in separation agreements, and how employees can protect their rights before signing away potential claims.
