Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in New York
May an attorney contact a layman
I had a dispute with my company regarding employment severance. I received an email from their lawyer asking me to sign a contract that I thought wasn't fair. Is this legal? Can a lawyer contact me directly although I wasn't represented by an attorney?

Yes. Its when you have a lawyer that your former employer's lawyer cannot contact you directly.
