Milwaukee Employment Contract Attorneys
Employment Contract Lawyers Drafting Clear Agreements in Milwaukee, WI
Employers may use employment contracts to define their relationships with their employees and independent contractors. These contracts set forth the terms and conditions of employment, providing clarity and legal protection for both parties. At Mallery s.c., our business law attorneys provide comprehensive legal assistance to businesses in Milwaukee and the surrounding areas, helping them draft, negotiate, and review contracts that will safeguard their interests.
Key Elements of Employment Contracts
- Compensation and benefits: These terms outline the salary and bonuses that an employee will receive in compensation for their work, as well as health insurance, retirement plans, and other perks of employment. Mallery s.c.'s attorneys can help businesses draft clear and detailed compensation clauses, ensuring that all aspects of employee remuneration are properly documented and legally sound. We also assist in structuring benefits packages that comply with applicable laws and regulations.
- Termination clauses: These clauses specify the conditions under which an employment relationship can be ended by either party. They can be critical in protecting businesses from potential legal disputes related to wrongful termination. Our attorneys can draft termination clauses that cover various scenarios, such as termination for cause, without cause, and resignation. We ensure that these clauses are fair, compliant with labor laws, and protect the employer's interests.
- Paid time off: A company's policies regarding vacation, sick leave, and personal days are essential elements of employment contracts. Mallery s.c. can assist in drafting these clauses to clearly define the expectations for both the employer and the employee. Our goal is to create terms that promote loyalty and productivity while remaining fair and transparent.
- Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements: Protecting sensitive business information is vital in today's competitive environment. Confidentiality clauses and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are essential for safeguarding proprietary information, trade secrets, and other protected data. Our lawyers are experienced in drafting NDAs that provide robust protection for businesses. We ensure that these agreements are enforceable while meeting the specific needs of the employer.
- Non-compete and non-solicitation clauses: Non-compete clauses restrict employees from working for competitors or starting a competing business for a specified period after leaving the company. Non-solicitation clauses prevent former employees from soliciting clients, customers, or other employees of the business. These clauses can be crucial for protecting a business's interests and maintaining a competitive edge. However, they have come under scrutiny from state and federal officials, and they must be properly drafted to ensure that they will be enforceable. Mallery s.c. helps businesses draft non-compete and non-solicitation clauses that are reasonable, enforceable, and aligned with the applicable legal laws and regulations.
- Dispute resolution: Employment contracts can address potential disputes that may arise between employers and employees, which can help prevent costly and time-consuming litigation. A contract may specify that arbitration, mediation, or other alternative dispute resolution methods will be used to handle potential conflicts. Our attorneys can help businesses incorporate effective dispute resolution clauses that facilitate amicable settlements while minimizing legal risks.
Ensuring That Employment Contracts Meet an Employer's Needs
The enforceability of employment contracts depends on their compliance with federal, state, and local laws. Mallery s.c. works to make sure all terms and conditions within our client's contracts adhere to the applicable legal requirements. We can review contracts, ensuring that their terms are clearly articulated to avoid ambiguity. By remaining up-to-date on the latest legal developments, we can provide accurate, legally sound advice, helping businesses avoid potential pitfalls.
Our attorneys work closely with our clients to understand their specific requirements and tailor employment contracts accordingly. By addressing the unique aspects of each business, we create contracts that are aligned with the employer's operational goals and corporate culture.

We ensure that the terms of contracts provide maximum protection for an employer while remaining fair and reasonable for employees.
