Breach of Employment Contract

Philadelphia Employment Contract Attorneys

Most employment agreements have a provision that allows the employer or employee to terminate the contract "for cause." A breach of contract claim can arise over how "cause" is defined, as well as over unpaid compensation at the termination of the contract. At the law firm of Markowitz & Richman, we pride ourselves on offering exceptionally qualified legal counsel to employees who feel they have been treated unfairly.

The remedy in a breach of employment contract claim usually involves compensation for damages caused by the breach. If your employer has breached your employment contract, our lawyers can help you negotiate a settlement. We can help you negotiate a severance agreement or enforce the terms of any severance agreement that is already a part of your contract.

Employment contracts often involve complex forms of compensation such as bonuses, stock options, incentive pay, sales commissions, benefits, and pensions. These forms of compensation can be at risk when you leave your position. If you are considering changing jobs, our lawyers can provide expert advice about how to protect your compensation from your old job before you start your new one. Our attorneys can also help you navigate the difficult areas of non-compete agreements that may be a part of your employment contract.

Do not be intimidated if you have been treated unfairly by your employer. You have rights and options under your employment contract. Let us help begin the process of resolving your case today. Our lawyers are dedicated to standing by you throughout the entirety of your case.
