Negotiation: Moving Too Fast? Going Too Slow?
// Dallas, Texas, United States // Attorney Keith Clouse (Blog) // Keith Clouse
When negotiating an employment agreement, an executive may be surprised by the pace of the negotiation process. Some negotiations begin and end within a week. Others take months. The speed at which the parties reach a final agreement depends on multiple factors, such as how immediate the company’s needs are, how responsive counsel is, and how detailed the agreement is.
In most instances, the speed of the negotiation process isn’t something to worry about. But, an executive should be sensitive to red flags. An executive should be concerned if the employer repeatedly fails to deliver answers or a revised draft by promised dates. This could indicate that the employer is internally disorganized or that serious conflicts exist within the organization. Likewise, an executive should be concerned if the employer pressures him to sign the contract without giving him sufficient time to review the details with employment law counsel. This could indicate that the contract is one-sided and contains terms that do not favor the executive.
