On first seeing a draft agreement clients will often say “this is so one-sided”. That is correct. Your soon to be ex-employer is paying you to sign an agreement, the principal objective of which is to protect the company from any legal liability. By its very nature it is one-sided. Most companies use a standard document that they are not going to change, sometimes not at all, and other times only minimally. This is the reality of the situation. We will review the document to ensure that it does not contain any unfair contract terms or anything unusual. Beyond that our job is to advise you on the terms and effects i.e. the meaning of the agreement and the legal promises you are making when you sign it.
