We can also negotiate executive employment contracts and severance agreements to maximize the benefits to our client and minimize the chances of future litigation. And we are highly experienced in developing, analyzing, and enforcing non-competition and confidentiality agreements.

By employing a strategy of aggressive discovery and motions, our team was able to achieve quick settlements for amounts far less than claim reserves, saving our client millions of dollars in budgeted defense costs.
