DATELINE: NOVATO, CA; Jun 03, 2008

BODY:

Employment agreements are usually the last thing job candidates think about, but they can be the most important part of a job negotiation in the long run. Rob Bernstein, an expert in employment law and a partner with Laner, Muchin, Dombrow, Becker, Levin and Tominberg, will explain how to negotiate employment agreements in the next Experts Connection(TM) (www.experts-connection.com) teleseminar, "The Ins and Outs of Employment Agreements." The teleseminar is scheduled for Wednesday, June 25, from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. ET, (1:00 - 2:00 p.m. PT) and is sponsored by NETSHARE(R) (www.netshare.com).

Bernstein is an expert in drafting employment agreements and counseling companies on the legalities of hiring. During his presentation, Bernstein will review the specifics behind employment agreements, providing insights into how to negotiate an employment agreement and what you should consider before you accept a new position. Included will be topics about termination, severance, non-disclosure and confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation. Bernstein also will explain how employment agreements differ from state to state.

Topics for discussion in the teleseminar include:

-- How to pursue an employment agreement with a new employer.

-- Identifying key issues to consider when negotiating an agreement.

-- Understanding restrictions after they leave the job, including

enforceability.

-- Understanding the substantive differences in state laws regarding

employment agreements.

"Senior executives understand the value of an employment agreement, but the challenge is negotiating with a prospective employer to get what you want," said Kathy Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection teleseminars. "It's not only important to get an employer to accept an agreement, but to include the right terms that will be to your benefit. Robert's expertise in the ins and outs of employment agreements, and how binding those agreements really are, will provide executive job seekers with information that could be invaluable in their next job negotiation."

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. A CD of the teleseminar is also available at www.experts-connection.com.
