Practice Areas

Our experienced attorney work as part of your team, and develop winning negotiations strategies and tactics that close employment and related business deals successfully. We can be either a behind-the-scenes invisible resource (so that your employer, or prospective new employer, does not know you are working with us), or we can work out front and at the table advocating on your behalf. We provide legal services and support to individuals at all stages of the employment relationship, including:

Pre-hire & Interviewing
New Job Offers
The Negotiation Process
Developing and Refining the Final Deal
Getting Off to the Right Start
Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) Coaching
Severance and other Termination Situations
Post-Employment Restrictive Covenants and their Implications

We have an established of counsel relationship with an experienced tax attorney and CPA to provide strategic tax expertise and support to our clients in addressing these important issues. This support enables our clients to develop effective tax strategies for both their personal affairs and their business transactions.

Additionally, clients who elect to leave corporate America and start their own businesses rely upon us to help them with securing these deals, including participation in the negotiation and business start-up process, selection of entity, incorporation, document preparation and filing, and getting into place the right contracts, policies and procedures.
