Just got let go. I think the separation agreement is pretty standard but wondering if I should have a lawyer look over it anyway. If so, does anyone have experience with finding one or have a ballpark of how much a task like this would cost? NYC based if that helps.

Not sure of the circumstances but if you have an attorney, it never hurts. It’s best to make sure you have a complete understanding of the benefits and consequences of signing. Once it’s signed, it’s harder to go back.

What are your concerns in the separation agreement.

Just want to make sure I'm reading legalese correctly. Also there was a reasonable accommodation request that was put forth months ago and never met or even brought up again. This was not mentioned in the termination either. Wondering if that is worth looking into, though leaning towards not wanting to burn bridges. Small industry...
