Choosing a employment lawyer
Confirm whether the lawyer represents employees, employers, or both, as this shapes their perspective. Ask about deadlines for administrative complaints, which can be short.
Frequently asked questions
Can I be fired without a reason?
In many places employment is "at will", but dismissals for discriminatory or retaliatory reasons are unlawful. Rules differ significantly between countries.
Should I sign a severance agreement right away?
Take time to have it reviewed. Severance agreements often waive important rights, and some laws give you a minimum review period.
