Severance advisory & coaching · Not a law firm

Handed a severance
agreement? Don’t sign yet.

Fulcrum advises and coaches you through severance agreements — what you’re giving up, what to push back on, and the exact words to use. We also advise on job offers and employment agreements.

No documents needed for the free risk check — four structured questions, high-level categories only.

How it works

Three steps from “is this normal?” to a plan.

Step 1

Structured intake

Answer a short, guided set of questions about your role, level, state and the terms in front of you.

Step 2

Advisor review & coaching

A senior advisor reads your documents term by term, flags what carries risk, and checks statutory thresholds for your state.

Step 3

Negotiation playbook

You get a prioritized set of asks, suggested wording, and a script you can send in your own voice.

What we are, and what we are not

Straight about our scope.

Our advisors come from compensation, HR leadership and executive recruiting. We explain what your severance or employment terms actually commit you to, what the commercial impact is, and what to ask for. We do not represent you, draft contracts on your behalf, or opine on whether a clause would hold up in court.
