Counseling

Ideally, and particularly at the highest levels, the employment relationship is not
adversarial even when there's a bump in the road. Thus, a heavy-handed
approach in addressing workplace issues is not always the best. We have
developed expertise in counseling senior- and mid-level executives, professionals,
and coaches through myriad issues in employment, and across industries as varied
as bio-technology, high-technology, financial services, academics, medicine and law,
among others. We have a sound knowledge of applicable law and precedent, a
sensitivity to legal and non-legal pressure points, and a firm grasp of what the
market will bear. We bring all of this experience to each client's case.

We provide individuals with counsel with regard to the enforceability of restrictive
covenants. We also provide executives and founders with independent counsel
with regard to their potential liabilities, helping them to protect themselves when
in-house counsel and corporate counsel are obligated to protect the company.
When necessary, we provide separate defense to individuals at risk.
