ERgirl Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 How do I find a lawyer who can review my employment contract before I sign it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kargiver Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Any employment lawyer or even a general law lawyer should be able to review a contract for you. You should also become familiar with the language of legalase as you are going to be using it throughout the entirety of your career and you'd benefit from being able to read the contract yourself and negotiate from it. You need to know the laws of your state whereever you applying - At will employment, Unable to work radius if you leave (enforcable), etc. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick87 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I would just read through the contract thoroughly. Google any term that you are unsure of. Most contracts, from what I've seen, are pretty straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnyn Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 What would be a typical cost for a lawyer to review this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Check 2 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 My attorney charged me $250 for a basic review and then would have charged his outlandish hourly rate if HE had to negotiate with my employer. Instead - he took my contract, typed over it in red and sent it to me to question and negotiate. This attorney made sure that the contract observed state employment laws, privacy and such. He asked me a lot about PAs specifically and was happy to learn and look at references. Have you asked any other PAs in your area for personal recommendations? Or the docs you know? Word of mouth is usually the best reference to find a professional - kind of like us.................... Glad you are being proactive and protecting yourself. It is worth every dime.
