The two most expensive employment mistakes are signing a contract without reading the termination clause, and accepting the first severance offer. Both take an employment lawyer under an hour to catch.

Olanur matches you with verified employment lawyers who review offers, termination letters and severance packages, explain where you stand in plain English, and tell you whether it is worth pushing back.

Olanur is a legal matching platform, not a law firm. The services described on this page are performed by independent licensed lawyers and legal professionals you can be matched with, and each sets their own fees.

  • Negotiation strategy
  • Response letter to the employer

FAQ

Common Questions

Should I sign my severance offer by the deadline in the letter?

Those deadlines are usually pressure, not law. In most cases you have much longer to decide than the letter implies, and initial offers are often below what a court would award. Have a lawyer review it before signing anything; the review typically costs far less than what it recovers.

What does an employment contract review catch?

The termination clause is the big one, because it can limit you to the legal minimum instead of common-law notice worth months of pay. Lawyers also flag non-competes, bonus language that vanishes on termination, and probation terms.

Is Olanur free for employment matters?

Yes. Getting matched with a verified employment lawyer is free. You only pay the lawyer's own fee if you book a consultation or a fixed-fee review, and you see that pricing before you commit.
