Employment agreements, including executive employment agreements, are highly technical documents that are fundamentally important to the employment relationship. These agreements lay the foundation that underlies the relationship between employer and employee and must be carefully negotiated before they are finalized.
At Sultan Lawyers, our team of highly knowledgeable employment lawyers regularly assist employees at the senior management and executive levels with employment contracts and compensation matters. We have the experience necessary to review, draft, and negotiate high-level employment contracts as well as related compensation matters. We know what to look for when examining contracts, are highly strategic when it comes to addressing any issues, and know how to most effectively ensure our rights are upheld and protected. We are also well prepared to represent you in disputes which may arise in relation to employment contracts, whether in relation to contract interpretation or implementation.
In addition to the common clauses that employers will generally include in every employment agreement, such as termination clauses, non-competition clauses, and other restrictive covenants, executive employment agreements often include terms that are specific to executive and other high-level employment. This may include:
At Sultan Lawyers, we draw on our many years of experience advising employers on executive employment agreements and in drafting such agreements to provide exceptional guidance to executives on how best to protect their interests. We rely on our experience sitting on both sides of the negotiating table to ensure our executive clients walk away with the best terms.
Before you finalize any written executive employment agreement with your employer, meet with the knowledgeable employment lawyers at Sultan Lawyers. We can help you negotiate the most beneficial terms, highlight areas of potential risk, and ensure that you are protected. Contact us online or at 416-214-5111 for a consultation.

“Sultan Lawyers provided a great experience during a difficult time with my employer. Kristine was extremely thorough and knowledgeable when reviewing and articulating the risks and details of my severance package. I am thankful for Kristine as her expertise enabled and empowered me to confidently make a decision on my options.”
“I wholeheartedly endorse Sharaf and Alexandra for their employment expertise and their impressive level of client service. Not only was their legal counsel top-notch, but Sharaf helped me navigate the tricky emotional waters related to my matter in a healthy way. He saw the big picture and helped me toward the best possible outcome for me now and into the future. As a lawyer myself, I realised that the smartest thing I could do in my circumstances was to have excellent legal advice, and Sharaf and Alexandra went above my expectations. It was empowering to work with them, and I can't thank Sultan Lawyers enough!”
I had an incredible experience working with the Sultan Lawyers team from start to finish. They were friendly and professional, and made me feel at ease with what I was going through. They provided me with some incredible advice, which resulted in a better outcome than I had expected. They also followed up with me to make sure everything was ok, which was a lovely touch, they really care about their clients. I also felt like the service I received was incredibly affordable, and I would definitely recommend Sultan Lawyers to anyone, without hesitation.
I had the pleasure of getting advice from Ani to resolve my concerns about an employer enforcing an unreasonably long resignation notice, which could have prevented me from taking another opportunity to grow my professional experience and achieve my goals. Ani was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. Her positive attitude and expertise gave me peace of mind, and I couldn't have asked for a better advocate. Highly recommend!
