Strategic Guidance For HR Contracts And Policies
Last updated on June 12, 2025
A well-drafted employment agreement or workplace policy can protect a company’s interests while maintaining compliance with state and federal employment laws. Employers must proactively draft, disseminate, and enforce policies and agreements in order to avoid disputes and mitigate legal risks.
The Wagner Law Group provides tailored legal counsel to businesses seeking to strengthen their HR policies and contracts. We help small, mid-level, and large corporations nationwide. Our firm is backed by a large team of legal professionals dedicated to assisting employers to create legally compliant and enforceable workplace agreements. We are capable of blending compliance with best practices.
Employment Agreements And Severance Packages
Employers should have well-defined employment and severance agreements to set clear expectations and reduce liability. Our attorneys help businesses with:
- Drafting and reviewing employment contracts tailored to the business’ needs
- Structuring severance agreements that comply with federal and state laws
- Negotiating terms that protect employers from future disputes
- Enforcing contract provisions when legal challenges arise
A strong employment contract provides clarity for both employers and employees, helping prevent misunderstandings and legal complications.
Restrictive Covenants
Protecting a business’ interests requires enforceable restrictive covenants that prevent unfair competition and misuse of private information. Our firm guides employers on the following:
- Developing agreements that provide the greatest possible protection under state and federal law
- Drafting legally compliant restrictive covenant agreements
- Drafting and enforcing non-solicitation clauses
- Protecting proprietary information through confidentiality agreements
- Defending against claims of unfair restriction or enforcement
- Representing employers who seek to hire employees who are bound by pre-existing restrictive covenant agreements
A properly structured restrictive covenant can guard intellectual property and business relationships while remaining legally enforceable.
Employee Handbooks And Leave Policies
HR policies set the foundation for a well-regulated workplace. We help employers create and maintain:
- Comprehensive employee handbooks aligned with applicable employment laws
- Leave policies that comply with federal and state regulations
- Clear disciplinary policies that reduce risk and ambiguity
- Workplace policies that promote fairness and consistency
Having well-documented policies reduces liability and provides clear guidance for employees and management. Our lawyers can help draft employment agreements that strike a balance for both the employer and employee.
