Employment Agreement FAQs
Do I need a lawyer to review my job offer?
Yes — even basic offer letters can include restrictive or unclear terms. Legal review protects your interests.
Can I negotiate a contract I’ve already signed?
Possibly — depending on the agreement’s language. We’ll assess your leverage and options.
What’s the difference between an employee and contractor agreement?
Contractor agreements lack certain protections and must follow specific IRS and legal criteria. Misclassification can create risk.
Can a contract override state or federal law?
No. We’ll ensure your agreement is lawful and doesn’t include unenforceable provisions.
Is my non-compete clause enforceable?
It depends. We evaluate scope, duration, geography, and reasonableness under WV law.
