Breach of Employment Contract

Posted on June 19, 2017 · Posted in business litigation, contracts, employment law

If you signed an employment agreement as you began your job, you will want to consult it before you leave your job and possibly meet with legal counsel to discuss the smartest steps before giving your notice.

Breach of contract claims can arise in many ways. They may arise if you were not paid compensation due to you upon termination of the contract or if you did not uphold your end of the agreement.

If your employer has breached your contract, our experts at Doumar Martin can negotiate a fair settlement that will help provide adequate compensation. If you have been terminated unfairly, we can help you negotiate a severance that is likely part of your agreement.

Employers have deep resources, including legal resources working for them. You do not want to try to do this alone. If your employment included a noncompete agreement, we can help you navigate that as well so you know where and when you may seek employment nearby in a similar field.

While it may seem overwhelming to have to enforce the original agreement, our legal experts are with you, fighting for your best interests.

A fundamental breach, one breaking a fundamental aspect of the agreement, is so key that the other party can terminate the contract. Our experienced contract attorneys can review your agreement and help you know what is worth pursuing.

If you believe your employer is in breach of contract regarding your employment agreement, you may want to consult with an experienced business lawyer who can review your agreement and advise you on the next steps you should take. Call our offices for your initial consultation.
