Executive Employment Agreements

Executive agreements can determine far more than title and salary. They can control incentive compensation, equity, equity equivalents, deferred compensation, severance eligibility, restrictive covenants, and the transition. If your company requires you to sign an executive employment agreement, or you are in a dispute over an existing contract, Warren & Siurek, L.L.P., can provide measured, strategic counsel for senior leaders across southeast Texas.

Since our founding in 1992, we have advised executives and other high-compensation professionals in employment law-related matters. Since employment law remains the sole focus of our entire practice, we have built a strong and reliable reputation for our responsiveness, pragmatic judgement and business-centric approach.

“We understand the importance of confidentiality in legal matters involving executive compensation, performance and terms of severance. You can rely on our commitment to the highest standards of professional ethics and discretion throughout your matter.” – Attorney Mark Siurek.

Executive Agreement Matters We Handle

We advise executives on the key agreement terms that most often drive compensation, control and risk, including:

• Executive compensation: We can assist with structuring terms and resolving disputes regarding executive or senior level executive compensation packages.
• Employment agreements: We can help draft, review and revise contracts. We can also review amendments, bonuses, commissions, deferred compensation and severance pay, as well as stock options, equity awards and equity equivalents listed within these contracts.
• Restrictive covenants: We can help review and analyze non-competes, non-solicitation provisions, and trade secret issues to ensure you understand the rules and operate within them.

We aim to give you clear options and a sound strategy. That way, you can enter and comply with these agreements with confidence.

Protecting Your Interests Before, During And After A Transition

We take a detail-driven, outcome-focused approach to reviewing and enforcing executive agreements. That way, you can have comprehensive knowledge of what you are agreeing to, any rights you may be waiving and what leverage you have. Our attorneys routinely assist with contract interpretation and resolution discussions.

We also counsel executives in disputes involving non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, severance and separation agreements, termination issues and retaliation claims.
