Secure Your Business and Empower Your Workforce with Precisely Drafted Employment Contracts
At Dougherty Molenda, we understand that employment contracts are vital tools for safeguarding your business while motivating your employees. Our experienced employment attorneys specialize in crafting contracts that protect your company's interests and encourage a thriving workplace environment.
The Importance of Employment Contracts
Securing Key Talent: Employment contracts are essential for securing key employees. These agreements help ensure that your most valuable assets — your people — are committed to your business.
Reducing Risks: By clearly outlining terms related to confidential and proprietary information, our tailored contracts help minimize the risks associated with sharing sensitive business details with employees.
Smooth Transitions: Carefully drafted contracts are your best defense against complications when an employee exits your company. They can be the difference between a straightforward departure and a drawn-out legal dispute.
Key Components of an Effective Employment Contract
Clarity in Performance Incentives: We design employment contracts that provide clear, achievable incentives, aligning employee goals with your business objectives to foster a mutually beneficial relationship.
Protection of Business Interests: Our contracts typically cover critical areas such as:
Non-solicitation: To prevent former employees from soliciting customers or fellow employees
Confidentiality: Ensuring the protection of your trade secrets and sensitive information
Intellectual Property Rights: Establishing ownership of innovations and works created during employment
Compliance with Local Laws
Minnesota Legal Requirements: Employment contracts in Minnesota must comply with specific statutes, including Section 181.55 of the Minnesota Statutes. We ensure that every contract not only meets these legal requirements but also serves your business's unique needs effectively.
Our Process
Tailored Solutions: Each employer faces unique challenges and opportunities. Our approach involves:
Understanding Your Business: We start by learning about your company’s specific needs.
Identifying Key Issues: We pinpoint critical areas that need coverage in the contract based on the nature of your business and your workforce.

Review and Revision: We work with you to review the contract and make necessary adjustments to ensure it fully meets your needs.
