CASE STUDIES

Richards Brandt’s business attorneys drafted written employment agreements for all employees that set out the most important employment terms for each employee, including compensation and confirmation that the lower-level employees were employed “at-will.” The employment agreements included intellectual property protection terms to protect the company’s proprietary information, such as its trade secrets. The employment agreements even confirmed that all ideas or inventions that employees developed pertaining to their employment with the company belonged to the company, and couldn’t be sold or used by a competitor.

To help the company incentive employees to remain with the company and be productive, our attorneys also helped the company establish a special bonus plan that tied the employees’ objective performance results to increased compensation. So as the employees would do better work or obtain improved results, they would earn more. Payment of that bonus compensation was dependent upon the employee’s continued service to the company.
