Employment contract - do I need a lawyer?
Posted on 6/10/16 at 10:15 am

The contract seems simple enough to me and everything (salary, benefits, production bonus, etc...) we agreed on during negotiation is in there. I'm not some high level corp. exec. with stock options and complicated issues.
-Is a lawyer needed?
-If the job is in a different state than I currently live does that lawyer need to be based here or there?
-How much should it cost?

What kind of job? Are there any clauses that would make it more difficult for you to leave and pursue other opportunities?

Are you wanting one to read it to make sure it reads what you agreed to, OR do you want an attorney to look through it for "problems?"
Because if its the second, the company is just going to hire someone else.

If everything is as it's supposed to be, what's the problem?

If it has what you wanted, sign it and move on.
Only person I know who tried to fight one was upset about a very strict about a non-compete clause or something like that.

If you don't like the non-compete clause, then either:
1) go find another place to work
2) just go work for them anyway, and if you are fired, begin working somewhere else similar (as non-competes for the "small guy" are always almost impossible to enforce.

Unless there's a noncompete, no. In fact it sounds less like an employment contract and more like an offer letter with your sig being an acceptance.

Non-competes are frowned on. Unless you are a TV newsman or weatherguesser.

In both Texas and Louisiana, non-competes, if written correctly, get enforced most of the time.

Yes, absolutely.
All those people saying that non-competes are BS haven't looked at lawyer-written non-compete.
They are actually quite easy to enforce.

Where did OP mention a non-compete? Also, where did OP go?

He didn't.
