Severance Agreements in Wisconsin

If you are being terminated from your job and you have been offered a severance package, you should speak with our lawyers before accepting the offer. Many severance agreements have general releases, meaning that once you sign it, you are not allowed to bring a lawsuit against the company. We will analyze the agreement to see if more favorable terms are possible and if the compensation provided to you is adequate. Often, if you have a potential claim against the company, we can negotiate a larger severance package for you.

Even if your employer does have a formal severance plan, it may still be possible for our attorneys to negotiate severance pay for you.
