Employment law in California is complex, confusing and constantly evolving. It touches on the most fundamental and emotionally charged issues of fairness and honesty. It is well documented that a loss of employment often has devastating effects, financially, emotionally and psychologically for the individual and his or her family….regardless of how much money he or she was earning. It is equally true that an executive level wrongful termination can be extremely costly to a Company.
Many clients and potential clients on the employee side mistakenly believe that they have no valid claims because California is an “at will” state. Similarly, many clients and potential clients on the Company side mistakenly believe that they are litigation proof because California is an “at will” state. Both are wrong.
Since our founding, we have represented executive level employees and their employers in a wide range of employment related claims. These cases can involve claims of failure to pay bonuses, breach of contract, fraud in the inducement, discrimination, harassment, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, non-competition agreement, unfair competition and many other claims.
Our Plaintiffs have included CEOs, company founders, investment bankers, finance professionals, sales professionals, programmers and other executives. Our defense clients have included successful privately-held and publicly traded Companies. We enjoy the challenge presented these high stakes cases.
If you have questions about your hiring, pending termination or actual termination, or if you feel that your Company is about to get sued, you need to act quickly.
