Las Vegas Severance Agreement Attorneys Protecting Employee Rights

At F. Travis Buchanan, Esq. & Associates, PLLC, we represent employees and executives across Las Vegas and throughout Nevada who have been presented with severance agreements or separation packages as part of their employment termination. A severance agreement is a legally binding contract that typically offers compensation or benefits in exchange for the employee’s agreement to waive certain legal claims against the employer. It may also include restrictive covenants or conditions that could impact your future employment or reputation.

Before signing anything, it's essential to fully understand your rights and negotiate terms that truly protect your interests. Our firm provides the guidance and advocacy you need to secure a fair and beneficial severance package.

Experienced Severance Negotiation

With years of experience negotiating severance agreements on both the employer and employee side, F. Travis Buchanan, Esq. & Associates, PLLC brings a strategic advantage to the table. We know how companies think—and more importantly, how they negotiate. That insight allows us to fight for the best possible terms on your behalf, whether you're a high-level executive, a mid-level manager, or any employee navigating the often stressful transition from one role to the next.

Our goal is to maximize the financial value of your severance agreement while also protecting your reputation, career trajectory, and future employment options.

A properly negotiated severance agreement may include:

Lump sum payments or continued salary
Extended health or life insurance benefits
Bonus or commission payouts
Retirement account contributions
Attorney’s fees for agreement review and negotiation
Confidentiality terms that safeguard your reputation
Agreed language for how your departure is communicated internally and externally

We also work to remove harmful provisions, including:

Overbroad non-compete or non-solicitation clauses
Penalties for breaching confidentiality or non-disparagement
Indemnification clauses that shift tax liability to the employee
Restrictions on future re-employment with the company or its affiliates

Your Legal Rights Under

Federal Employment Law

These include:

A reasonable period of time to review any severance agreement
The continued right to file claims with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
Protection against waiving the right to assist others in discrimination cases

Our firm ensures that your severance agreement complies with all relevant laws and doesn’t strip you of important rights—now or in the future.
