#Severance agreements are legally binding agreements, and you should always seek legal counsel before signing one. Even if the agreement seems fine to you, there may be tricky clauses or bad provisions that work against you. Read on in @JohnCookVA 's blog: https://t.co/3vFNd5mWz9

Executive orders aimed to eliminate #DEI initiatives could pose risks to government #contractors. These orders also raise complicated legal issues that contractors will need to navigate. What could this mean for you? Read on in @JohnCookVA's newest blog: https://t.co/xmQBGBeVk5

Companies employ a variety of legal measures to protect their assets, including the use of non-solicit agreements. Since these #contracts are legally binding, it’s important to have a lawyer draft, edit, or review. Read on in @JohnCookVA's blog: https://t.co/8ZNMql4wlq

@GerryConnolly Cong Connolly and I had our differences over the years but I would not wish that disease on anyone. Gerry and I both got our start in politics through our civic associations. His commitment to our community is admirable and will be missed.

The VA wage payment act is a law that requires #employers to pay #employees all owed compensation in a timely manner. If you are dealing with unpaid #wages, late payment, or wage theft, an attorney can help you file a suit. Read on in @JohnCookVA's blog: https://t.co/wbjEQtQoLQ

@PatHerrityVA Pat very sorry to hear. Best wishes for your full recovery.

[Dunn Craig & Francuzenko @DCFattorneys]

Negotiating a #Severance agreement, or severance package, can be part of your departure from your employer. It’s important that you fully understand the agreement before signing. We highly recommend seeking counsel. Read on in @JohnCookVA's blog: https://t.co/tek0ecEaho

Judge Wilkinson’s opinion is a reminder of what it means to put the rule of law over authoritarian impulses, country over party and ideology, and the constitution over drinking the KoolAid of a demagogue. Read it.

[Heath Mayo @HeathMayo]

Difficult to overstate how remarkable the Wilkinson opinion is. For seasoned readers of these opinions, the tone and substance are unmistakably unique and severe. This was not a normal opinion for Wilkinson. He knew and clearly hoped the entire country would read this—and I think it will easily be a legacy-defining opinion for his entire career.

It reads as if he knew it would be when he wrote it. He delivered. I hope the country heeds his warning.
