How severance negotiation works
Got a severance offer? Here's how we help you get more.
It starts with a free 45-minute phone consultation. If there's room to negotiate, a senior advisor reviews your package and coaches you through every round — you send everything in your own name, and we never contact your employer.
- Free first call
- No employer contact
- All negotiation rounds included

Free 45-minute phone consultation
Tell us what you were offered and when you have to sign. We'll tell you honestly whether there's room to negotiate and which service fits — no charge, no obligation.
- 02
Guided intake
You pick a service and work through a short dynamic questionnaire covering your role, level, state, employer and the specific terms you're weighing. Questions adapt to what you tell us.
- 03
Engagement terms, signed in-portal
Before payment or upload you review and e-sign our engagement agreement: the non-attorney advisory disclaimer, the mutual confidentiality terms, no guarantee of outcome, and the limitation of liability. We record the version, timestamp and device.
- 04
Advisor review & coaching
You upload your documents to your private case file. A senior advisor reads every material term, explains what it commits you to and where the commercial risk sits, and checks it against binary statutory thresholds for your state.
- 05
Negotiation playbook
You receive a written playbook: a commercial risk score, the terms that carry the most risk, prioritized asks with expected trade-offs, suggested wording, and a draft script you can send in your own voice.
- 06
Negotiation coaching
On negotiation engagements we stay with you round by round: reviewing employer responses, adjusting the sequence of asks, and prepping you before calls.
- 07
Close and purge
When your case closes we keep your playbook, messages and invoices in the portal. Raw uploaded documents are permanently deleted 30 days after closure, and we email you a warning 7 days before.
Don't sign before you talk to us.
Most first severance offers leave room on the table. A free call is the fastest way to find out how much.
