An employment contract is a written agreement between an employer and employee that sets the rules for the working relationship.
Typical components include scope of work, compensation, benefits, at-will status or term, non-disclosure, IP ownership, non-solicitation where enforceable, and dispute resolution. Our process includes discovery, drafting, negotiation, and finalization.
A glossary clarifies common terms to help you understand the contract.
Under California practice, employment is often at-will, meaning either party may end the relationship with minimal notice unless a written contract provides otherwise.
Provisions protect confidential information and IP, and outline permissible use and disclosures.
Non-compete restrictions are limited in California, and enforceability depends on context; we review terms for legality.
Clauses outline severance payments, notice requirements, and post-employment obligations.
We compare traditional employment contracts with alternative arrangements and custom terms to fit your situation.
For simple positions with minimal risk, a concise contract may be enough.

Independent contractors are governed by separate agreements that outline their working relationship and payment terms. We help determine when a worker should be treated as an employee or a contractor under California law. If a contract is used with a contractor, we ensure it clearly describes scope, deliverables, payment, and compliance requirements. We also review for potential misclassification risks and provide alternatives if appropriate.
California generally restricts non-compete agreements and enforces them narrowly. We review any non comp terms for legality and offer compliant alternatives such as non solicitation, confidentiality, and IP protection to safeguard your business interests.
A strong employment contract should specify job title and duties, compensation and benefits, confidentiality, IP ownership, termination terms, and dispute resolution. It should also address at-will status, probation if any, and any industry specific requirements. We tailor these sections to your California context and your company needs.
Process duration varies with complexity, but a straightforward contract can be completed in a few days to a couple of weeks. More intricate arrangements may take longer to draft, review, and negotiate. We provide a realistic timeline after the initial consultation.
In most cases, work product and IP created by an employee automatically belongs to the employer if properly assigned in the contract. We craft clear IP ownership terms and assignments to protect your rights and clarify ownership.
