Representation from an Employee Perspective

Our employee clients need to protect their interests should they experience discrimination, harassment, or termination issues.  We can help them negotiate a fair resolution that safeguards their compensation and future earning capacity, including, for example, equity and retirement benefits, in the event of a termination.  Likewise, they must assure themselves that they can find new employment without the impediments of poor references and restrictive covenants.  We assist our clients by negotiating these terms as part of a severance agreement.  As part of this analysis, we work with our employee clients to evaluate any available claims.
