Know the Law Before You Commit to a New Job: Experts Connection(TM) Focuses on Employment Agreements

Employment Lawyer Rob Bernstein Reveals What You Need to Know to Protect Yourself and Retain Your Rights

NOVATO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 10, 2007 -- Do you know what impact an employment contract can have on your career? Rob Bernstein, an expert in employment law and a partner with Laner, Muchin, Dombrow, Becker, Levin and Tominberg, will demystify employment agreements in the next Experts Connection™ (www.experts-connection.com) teleseminar, "The Ins and Outs of Employment Agreements," scheduled for Tuesday, April 24, from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. ET, (1:00 - 2:00 p.m. PT). The Experts Connection teleseminar series for executive career management is sponsored by NETSHARE® (www.netshare.com).

During his presentation, Bernstein will review the details of employment agreements, providing insights that any employee should know. Included will be information about termination, severance, non-disclosure and confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation, and your rights as an employee and how they vary from state to state. The information in the Experts Connection teleseminar will arm job seekers and employed workers with an employer's perspective of the labor laws, putting attendees in a better position to negotiate an employment agreement without surrendering their rights.

Bernstein is an expert in drafting employment agreements and counseling companies on the legalities of hiring. His expertise can be invaluable to newly hired executives, revealing:

--  Pursue an employment agreement with a new employer
--  Identify key issues to consider when negotiating an agreement
--  Understand restrictions after they leave the job, including
   enforceability
--  Understand the substantive differences in state laws regarding
   employment agreements.
   

"Understanding your rights before you accept a new position is essential, and it's surprising how many senior executives don't understand the basics of employment law," said Kathy Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection teleseminars. "This Experts Connection session will serve as an essential primer in what everyone should know when they accept a new job."

The Experts Connection teleseminar series gives executives access to leading career experts. The cost of the seminar is $45, $35 for NETSHARE members, and access is provided via web and telephone. For more information, visit the Experts Connection online at www.experts-connection.com.
