Workplace disputes and executive exits, handled by people who litigate them for a living.

We take terminations where the stated reason doesn't match the timeline — a complaint, a leave request, or a disclosure shortly before the decision. Matters proceed under California and New York statute, from demand letter through trial if the employer won't resolve it.

• Retaliatory discharge
• Whistleblower protection
• Pretextual performance claims

When you're named as a subject or witness in an internal investigation, the record built in those interviews often outlives the investigation itself. We prepare clients for interviews, review investigation scope letters, and intervene when a process departs from the employer's own policy.

• HR investigation counsel
• Union grievance coordination
• Policy-compliance review

Departing executives rarely have leverage after signing. We negotiate before that point — severance multiples, equity acceleration and treatment, non-compete and non-solicit scope, and reference language — under the deadline the employer's counsel sets, not ours.

• C-suite separations
• Equity acceleration disputes
• Non-compete negotiation

From an EEOC or DFEH charge through litigation, we handle claims where protected-class status was a motivating factor in an adverse action. Charge-filing deadlines are unforgiving; the earlier we're engaged, the more options remain.

• EEOC / DFEH charges
• Hostile work environment
• Failure-to-accommodate claims
