Executive Contracts

The Law Offices of Kevin J. Dolley drafts, develops and reviews employment contracts. Executive-level contracts are particularly complex.  Executive contracts must balance the party’s interests to ensure a successful long-term relationship is developed.  An Executive commonly hires legal counsel to ensure that his or her interests are protected in any executive contract, including ensuring proper salary and benefits and limitation on liability against particular risks that an executive faces.      

Examination of an Executive's Best Interests

The Law Offices of Kevin J. Dolley will closely examine any proposed contact to ensure that the contract is in an executive’s best interests and does not include any potential pitfalls or loopholes that could cause future problems for the executive employee.  Failure to have legal counsel examine an executive contract prior to signing could result in serious liability and long-term problems for the executive and result in damaged business relationships and expensive litigation.  Attorney Kevin J. Dolley’s Executive contract review services include:

    ●     Review of executive employment agreements, salary proposals, stock options and bonus plans; 
    ●     Analysis of confidentiality and non-compete agreements;
    ●     Evaluation of separation and severance agreements;  
    ●     Drafting of language to limit or avoid personal liability.

Litigation involving Business Executives

If litigation does occur, the interests of executives and the company are not always completely the same.  Executives commonly require independent legal counsel to ensure that their interests in litigation are protected.  The Law Offices of Kevin J. Dolley advises clients on a variety of executive employment disputes such as:

    ●     Contract disputes; 
    ●     Confidentiality and non-compete agreement disputes;

           retaliation and disability claims); 
    ●     Compensation disputes; 
    ●     Severance packages and executive compensation disputes;
    ●     Stock option disputes;
