Severance Agreements Lawyer in Las Vegas
Severance agreements often trade a payment for a broad release of claims. Signing too quickly can waive valuable discrimination, retaliation, or wage claims.
Jonathan D. Roven represents Nevada employees — not employers — in severance agreements disputes across Las Vegas and Clark County.
Warning Signs
- Pressure to sign within 24–48 hours
- Release language covering unknown claims
- Noncompete or non-disparagement add-ons
- Payment that is less than unpaid wages already owed
Nevada and Federal Protections
Older workers may have special review periods under the OWBPA. Wage claims and certain rights may be limited in what can be waived. Counsel can negotiate better terms or advise you to reject a bad deal.
What To Do Next
- Do not sign on the spot
- Ask for the full agreement in writing
- List potential claims before you release them
- Have an employment lawyer review the severance
