ERgirl 11 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kargiver 267 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick87 268 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunnyn 19 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 What would be a typical cost for a lawyer to review this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reality Check 2 2,136 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.
