REPRESENTATION OF LOCAL MANUFACTURER IN EXECUTIVE-LEVEL EMPLOYMENT REORGANIZATION

When one of our Jackson-based manufacturing clients, for which we serve as outside corporate counsel, wanted to make a change at the executive level, its board of directors consulted our employment law attorneys to craft a plan to minimize risk exposure to the company. Our lawyers put together a comprehensive employment separation agreement with a fair severance package, and counseled the board through the termination process and severance settlement. Although the departing employee retained an attorney, we quickly resolved the matter at minimal cost to the company while securing a full release.
