Employment

The strength and success of our employment practice lies in a consistent focus on the long-term interests of our client—whether an organization facing a discrimination charge or an executive negotiating a severance agreement.   

We understand that your interests extend beyond the matter at hand and work with you to help ensure a profitable and viable future.  That means we will work closely with you to identify and select the best available means—whether negotiation, ADR, or litigation—to resolve your difficult employment dispute and achieve the outcome that best serves your interests.

We have helped major corporations defeat charges of race and age discrimination, assisted professional service firms in negotiating employment contracts and resolving disputes, and aided individual employees and executives in achieving their goals, including negotiating equitable severance agreements. We handled the en banc matter in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals that established the parameters of the “employment at will” doctrine.
