Employment Agreements (Drafting, Review, Negotiations)

An employment agreement sets out the terms and conditions of the working relationship between an employer and an employee, including duties, compensation, benefits, termination provisions, and other key expectations. In Alberta, clear and well-drafted employment contracts help prevent disputes and ensure both parties understand their rights and obligations under the Employment Standards Code and common law.

Before signing, it’s important that both employers and employees review and understand the terms of the agreement, particularly clauses dealing with termination, restrictive covenants (non-compete or non-solicitation), and confidentiality.
At Lypkie Henderson, we assist with the drafting, review, and negotiation of employment agreements. Our employment lawyers identify problematic clauses, such as unfair termination terms or overly restrictive non-compete and non-solicitation provisions, and help ensure the agreement is fair, in line with your goals, enforceable, and legally compliant.
Whether you need a new agreement prepared or want a lawyer to review one before you sign, we provide the guidance and clarity you need to make informed decisions and protect your interests from the very beginning of your employment relationship.
