Employment Contract
Every sophisticated corporation retains attorneys for advice regarding its operations. Despite this fact, many executives choose to go it alone when negotiating with a corporation, often not retaining a lawyer until it is already too late. Throughout the Chicagoland area, however, forward-thinking executives rely on Ms. Major for her legal judgment and guidance whether they are negotiating an employment agreement or litigating a dispute. Business executives and professionals alike know they can depend on Ms. Major's extensive experience as a high-stakes employment lawyer to provide them with the legal prudence their situations require.
Employment Litigation
For discreet and confidential legal advice regarding their most sensitive employment issues, business executives and professionals across the country look to attorney Ruth Major. She has handled legal matters involving federal or Illinois law in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Colorado, Texas, Michigan, Florida and Pennsylvania, including litigated matters in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies. Ms. Major has been licensed to practice law in Illinois for 29 years and recently expanded her practice to include Arizona. Ms. Major is uniquely qualified to represent executives and professionals in all aspects of employment law. Having represented first-tier employers and employees, Ms. Major understands both sides and uses that unique perspective to the advantage of her clients. As a chief attorney in the employment law department of a large corporation in Chicago, Ms. Major was involved in handling a wide range of employment matters as an insider, including participating in decision-making that affected executives at the highest levels. She now applies the invaluable knowledge and experience she has acquired representing blue chip employers for the benefit of executive-level employees and small businesses.

Severance Agreement
