Advice for Employees

When you are hired, the employment contract you sign will govern many aspects of your work life, including your job description, compensation, and post-employment restrictions like non-compete and confidentiality clauses. While these provisions might seem non-negotiable, it’s important to remember that you have leverage. ELE’s experienced lawyers can review and negotiate employment contracts on your behalf to protect your interests.
