Counsel for Executives & Professionals

Some of the most important legal decisions in your career happen before a dispute ever arises. Richardson Law advises executives and professionals who are evaluating a new opportunity, negotiating the terms of an employment or consulting relationship, or leaving an organization.

Severance Agreements


A severance agreement is more than a dollar amount.

Richardson Law reviews and negotiates severance packages with attention to compensation, benefits, bonuses and incentive compensation, restrictive covenants, confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions, releases, and other terms that can affect what comes next.

Executive Offers & Employment Agreements

Before accepting a new role, it is important to understand not only what you are being offered, but what you are agreeing to.

Richardson Law reviews and negotiates offer letters and employment agreements, including compensation, bonuses, equity and incentive arrangements, restrictive covenants, termination provisions, and other significant terms.

Consulting Agreements


Consulting arrangements can create significant questions about compensation, scope of work, ownership of intellectual property, restrictive covenants, termination rights, and what happens to compensation after the relationship ends.

Richardson Law helps consultants and professionals understand and negotiate those terms before they sign.
