Employment Attorneys For Senior And Mid-Level Executives

If you are a senior or mid-level executive facing a compensation dispute, a contract issue or a separation decision, the financial and professional consequences can be immediate and lasting. Issues surrounding equity, equity equivalents, bonuses, severance, and restrictive covenants are often intertwined. As a result, early missteps in the process can reduce your leverage.

At Warren & Siurek, L.L.P., we advise and counsel executives throughout southeast Texas on all of these matters and more. What sets us apart from other employment law firms is our focus on the needs and concerns of business executives and leaders. Call our Houston office today at 713-489-2202 to discuss your situation.

Executive Matters We Handle

We provide end-to-end counsel for business leaders navigating complex pay, contract and exit issues, including:

• Executive compensation disputes: These can involve bonuses, commissions, equity/phantom equity, long-term incentive plans, deferred compensation, clawback demands, and pay-related contract interpretation. We can also assist with legal issues for  executive sales professionals.
• Employment and executive agreements: This can involve negotiating and enforcing offer letters, employment contracts, change-in-control provisions, confidentiality terms, and “for cause” definitions.
• Severance and separation agreements: This can involve reviewing and negotiating severance pay, release terms, nondisparagement provisions, benefits continuation, and post-employment restrictions. We can help you understand your rights and make sound decisions before you sign.
• Restrictive covenants: These can include non–competes, non-solicitation agreements, and nondisclosure obligations that could limit your next role, client relationships or your ability to recruit.
• Executive transitions and dispute resolution: This can involve a strategy for resignation versus termination risk, responding to demand letters, and resolving conflicts through negotiation.

Together, these services are designed to protect your compensation, preserve your negotiating leverage, and keep your next executive move on track. Whether you are in the oil and gas, manufacturing or aerospace industry, we are here to provide you with the counsel, assistance and guidance you need.

Protect Your Leverage Before You Sign Or Before You Exit

Executives must often make time-sensitive decisions with incomplete information, especially during reorganizations, leadership changes or performance disputes. We can help you evaluate your agreements, determine what is at stake and seek a practical, business-focused resolution that aligns with your next move.
