Nationwide Transaction-Related Experience in Employment, Benefits, Labor and Immigration
The BakerHostetler Employment Deal team provides nationwide, transaction-related experience in all matters related to employment, from negotiating and drafting of management team contracts to assessing and mitigating labor and employment risks to navigating complex employee benefits and immigration issues. Our team works efficiently and practically with one goal in mind: making sure the deal you want gets done.
Our team of practitioners works closely with the BakerHostetler Business Group to lead due diligence and risk assessment on all matters related to employment, benefits, labor and immigration, while simultaneously advising and implementing deal-facilitating strategies to mitigate any identified risks. As a deal progresses, our attorneys negotiate and prepare key employment-related agreements and documentation, including executive employment agreements, offer letters, new hire documentation, retention agreements, separation notices (including any required Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notices), release agreements, employment and key shareholder covenant agreements, and independent contractor agreements. In addition, we review and revise key components of merger and purchase agreements with regard to labor and employment representations and warranties (and related indemnification provisions and carve-outs), restrictive covenants, WARN Act provisions, and employee retention and transition terms.
