CONGRATULATIONS! You received a job offer, don’t stop there. Employers structure offer letters in their favor, always review and consider negotiating your offer letter before signing and cementing the employment relationship.
At the Maura Greene Law Group, we help clients like you review and negotiate for favorable and balanced offer letters.
Enhancing Your Job Offer
In the current economic environment, increasing ability for employees to work remotely and the high demand for labor, has increased the bargaining power of employees; negotiate your offer letter before you accept it.

There is no “one size fits all” in negotiating your offer letter. Here are a few topics we help clients negotiate:
- Base Salary
- Bonus, Commission, Equity and other Incentive Based Compensation
- Professional Development and Childcare Reimbursement
- Benefits – vacation time, health insurance, phone allowance, car allowance, educational support and other benefits

The Not So Fine Print:
We see patterns in our practice, like the ones described above. However, every case has its own unique facts. Before you take any action, you should contact an employment lawyer and get advice on your own situation. We can’t provide legal advice here and this isn’t intended as legal advice. Keep in mind that it is best, if possible, to establish a relationship with an attorney before a workplace issue turns into a full-blown crisis. Employees who have received a verbal or written warning or performance improvement plan, should contact counsel now. Ditto for employees who are seeing their doctor for workplace related stress or anxiety.
