Separation Agreement Review

Brandon Northington

"Brandon provided an excellent legal review of my employment separation documents. His analysis was thorough, California-law specific, and practically actionable, covering everything from wage rights and LTIP treatment to restrictive covenant enforceability and negotiation strategy. The deliverables were clear, well-organized, and gave me exactly what I needed to approach my situation with confidence. The only thing I wished for was the ability to engage him for direct outreach to the employer. Not a criticism, just a reflection of how much confidence his work gave me. Highly recommend for anyone navigating an employment separation."
