Employment & Compensation

General.  We assist our clients with various employment matters, including commencement and termination of employment, consulting or advisory arrangements, executive employment contracts, equity compensation, including stock option and restricted stock grants, indemnity arrangements, and director and officer insurance.

Executive Employment.    Because of our familiarity with both employment and the public securities laws, we often are requested to advise senior management in negotiating the commencement or termination of their employment arrangements.  Our small size allows us to do so quickly and efficiently, typically without the need to waive actual or business conflicts often found with the larger law firms.
