302, 15252 – 32nd Avenue | Surrey, British Columbia V3Z 0R7Is your employer making considerable changes to your official duties? Have you been terminated wrongfully? Should you take the severance pay offer? If you have these employment-related questions, Robert Doran understands the complex issues used in job contracts or agreements and can help.
Robert Doran is the founder and lead lawyer at Doran Law Firm and has successfully analyzed and negotiated employment contracts for countless clients. As such, he knows what to look out for before an employee can sign an agreement with a potential employer.
Before you sign an employment contract, it’s crucial to take the time to carefully review the contract and understand the proposed responsibilities and rights of the parties involved. You should also pay attention to what is supposed to happen during the termination of the employment relationship.
Many employment contracts are often written in favour of employers rather than employees. Other agreements may not be straightforward or may use complex legal language. Therefore, it’s recommended to have Robert Doran review the terms of your contract to help you understand what they mean.
Contacting Doran Law Firm is an important step towards clarity. Robert will help you understand every clause in your job agreement. It’s equally important to have a skilled employment lawyer review your contract if you’re being solicited to another potential employer.
The moment you get a job offer, your potential employer will request you to sign an employment agreement. Most people rush to check the amount of compensation and vacation time and overlook other important terms in the employment offer. Work with Robert Doran to review the following clauses:
Termination clause: Let our employment lawyer help you understand what will happen if you get terminated, the amount of severance pay you should get, and other related terms. Don’t sign any employment agreement unless you fully understand the termination clause.
Probation clause: You shouldn’t be subject to a probationary period unless the agreement has an enforceable probationary clause. If the probation clause exists, let an experienced employment contract lawyer help you review it before accepting the contract.
Changing employment duties: Some organizations may try to add terms that allow them to unilaterally change the core aspects of your job. For instance, your duties, working hours, location, and more. Review these terms with the help of our lawyer.
The process of reviewing an employment agreement with an experienced lawyer takes a few hours or several days, depending on the complexity of the contract. First, Robert will read through the contract and identify the terms related to key issues such as employee rights, compensation, workplace rights, severance packages, and more.
Next, your lawyer will assess the contract’s compliance with the employment law and the relevant aspects of common law. Finally, the lawyer will discuss any issues or concerns with you and propose changes for negotiation with your potential employers. If there are no issues related to your legal rights, you can proceed to sign the contract.
At Doran Law Firm, we have reviewed tens of thousands of employment contracts and provided professional advice to clients before they accept their new jobs.
An employment contract is one of the most legally important documents you will ever sign. A long-term employment relationship may be worth millions of dollars throughout your career. That’s why you should let Robert help you understand the terms of your job before you sign the contract.
Robert Doran will review the offer and explain it to you. He will also propose changes (where necessary) and guide you in negotiating the proposed changes. Once you accept the offer, Doran Law Firm can continue to provide legal advice throughout your job.
An employment contract may be verbal, written, or both. Robert Doran is a skilled and experienced lawyer who has been drafting contracts for over 45 years. A carefully drafted employment contract can help protect employers’ interests and liabilities to their employees.
Let Doran Law Firm draft an employment agreement that potential employees will find favourable without creating a risk of substantial liabilities for your organization.

At Doran Law Firm, we understand that negotiating employment agreements isn’t uncommon for potential employees. Over the years, Robert has developed strategies to minimize the risk that a contract negotiation can cause damage to your relationship with your employer.
