WHAT AN EXECUTIVE ATTORNEY CAN DO FOR YOU

Over the past 30 years a volatile economy and increased competition have led many corporations to prioritize shareholder value at the cost of long-term growth and stability. One impact of this trend has been the erosion of the employer / employee relationship as corporations have sought to more efficiently and effectively manage their biggest expense and biggest risk: employees.

At the same time, the workplace has become increasingly sophisticated as a result of the proliferation of laws designed to protect employees and their families from employer abuse. Employers now have to contend with far more limitations on their right to hire, compensate, manage, discipline and terminate their employees. As such, employers have enlisted an army of lawyers, consultants and human resource professionals to help them navigate these laws and develop programs to manipulate their employees’ compensation, benefits and careers in order to meet corporate objectives.

Unfortunately, most executives, managers and employees do not seek professional advice when confronted with employment related issues. Instead, they assume they are powerless to alter or influence employer decisions and believe what they are being offered or told is non-negotiable. In this instance, employers have a distinct advantage over their employees.

My mission as an executive attorney is to combine practical advice within a legal framework to help you shape and manage your employment relationship. For almost a decade, I have successfully represented executives, managers, and employees from Wall Street to Main Street by helping them understand how to level the playing field. My clients have used my strategic counsel to enhance and protect their careers on an extensive range of employment issues including:

Employment Agreements and Offer Letters Pension and Benefit Plans
Severance Agreements Workplace Discrimination
Career Enhancement Interpersonal Workplace Conflicts
Non-competition and Non-solicitation Agreements "Whistleblower" Claims
Bonus Disputes Wrongful Termination

Working closely with my clients, I help them better understand their rights, risks and opportunities before making employment related decisions that will affect both their careers and their families. I then help them tap into their unique personal strengths and use the tools of negotiation and leverage (as well as litigation or arbitration in limited but appropriate circumstances) to attain their employment related objectives as well as resolve their employment related disputes. The goal is to assist my clients with their current employment issues and to educate them on how to better manage their careers in the future.
