An employment contract is a written agreement that sets out the terms of your work relationship, and in California many terms outside of a written contract may be implied by law.
Key elements include compensation, benefits, job duties, working hours, leave, confidentiality, IP rights, non‑compete or non‑solicit provisions, and dispute resolution. Our process typically starts with a review, followed by negotiation support and finalization.
This glossary explains common terms you may encounter in employment contracts.
At-will employment means either party may end the relationship at any time for any lawful reason, subject to applicable laws.

Non-disclosure clauses protect confidential information during and after employment, with careful limits on what constitutes confidential information.
