Employment Contracts That Protect You and Your Business

Employment contracts are more than onboarding documents, they’re legally binding agreements that define expectations, protect confidential information, and reduce liability. Whether you’re hiring your first employee or building out a growing team, every role should be governed by a clear, well-drafted employment agreement.

At Isaboke Law Firm, we draft, review, and negotiate custom employment contracts tailored to the needs of small to mid-sized businesses, startups, and professional services firms across North Carolina and beyond.

Why Employment Contracts Matter

Failing to have proper employment contracts in place can expose your business to:

  • Wage disputes and misclassification issues

  • Confidentiality breaches and IP theft

  • Unclear termination procedures or severance obligations

  • Lawsuits stemming from verbal or vague agreements

  • Difficulties enforcing non-competes or NDAs

Our employment contracts are designed to align with federal and North Carolina labor laws, while clearly outlining the rights and responsibilities of both employer and employee.

What We Cover in Employment Agreements

  • Job title and scope of duties

  • Compensation structure (salary, bonuses, equity, commissions)

  • Employment classification (at-will, exempt vs non-exempt, W-2 vs 1099)

  • Termination terms, notice periods, and severance

  • Confidentiality and non-disclosure clauses

  • Non-compete and non-solicitation provisions

  • Ownership of work product and IP

  • Dispute resolution procedures

Whether you need a one-page executive agreement or a detailed multi-party employment package, we ensure your business is protected from day one.

Who We Serve

  • Entrepreneurs hiring their first employee or contractor

  • Tech startups building out engineering, marketing, or sales teams

  • Small businesses scaling operations and hiring across state lines

  • Professional firms in need of airtight agreements for remote or hybrid employees

  • Entertainment, creator, and media companies onboarding creatives or talent managers

We also offer contract audits to review existing agreements for enforceability and legal compliance.

Employment Law Compliance, Simplified

We stay up-to-date with changes in wage laws, employee classification standards, and non-compete regulations, so you don’t have to. Our firm ensures your contracts meet the latest legal requirements including the FTC’s recent proposed bans on non-compete agreements.
