There's a great deal at stake here. When you negotiate an employment contract, your employer uses an attorney--maybe several. When you engage the services of a professional, you are on a level playing field with those across the table.
Negotiating and drafting contracts can be exasperating. Emotion and pride may blind you to the details and you may end up leaving money or other perks on the table. A detached advocate can often see options that you can't and can suggest alternative strategies that can break a stalemate or deadlock.
You might want to let someone else do the talking. Some things are better said by someone else--someone who is not a part of the boss/employee relationship, someone who can brag about you without seeming boastful; someone who is an outsider to the process. Let Dan stick his neck out, take the heat or sing your praises while you keep out of the fray. What's an Executive's Attorney?
