Who is your typical employment breach of contract client?
Our typical employment breach of contract client is a talented business professional, who is a high wage earner (with a high 6 or 7 figure salary). He or she is typically in C-Suite executive, VP or Director or other executive level position of authority within their company and very likely a “known-name” in their industry. Hence they are able to negotiate agreement due to their talent, skill and expertise.
What types of compensation are at issue?
The typical senior executive we see often has a complex employment contract for a significant amount of money that may include:
- Base Salary
- Individual bonuses
- Team bonus
- Stock options or RSUs
- Car allowances
- Contracted severance for a specific time period
- and other forms of incentive or non-salary compensation
What if I’m not sure I have a claim?
Since our founding, Chris Adishian and his team have represented employees in a wide range of employment related claims.
Many employees mistakenly believe that they have no valid claims because California is an “at will” state. Similarly, many employers mistakenly believe that they are litigation proof because California is an “at will” state. The truth is not so clear cut. Talk with us.
What if I need help negotiating a severance and may not want to litigate…can you help me?
We do that all the time. In fact, many senior professionals want a “frictionless” or “amicable” resolution, subject to being treated fairly.
Chris Adishian and Adishian Law Group have a well-earned reputation throughout the State of California for being exceptional settlement attorneys.
To be clear, by “settlement” we don’t mean folding, walking away or accepting pennies on the dollar. We mean a settlement that gives fair, reasonable, full-value to the parties’ claims and defenses factoring in the time-value of money and litigation risk; a settlement that allows everyone to move forward with their business rather litigate.
Not everyone is good at it.
Can you represent me if I live outside the State, and am employed by a California-based company?
Yes. If you are located outside of California and the company is located inside California, we can represent you in your claims.
Can you represent me if I live in California, and am employed by an out of state company?
If you are a California resident we can represent you in your claims regardless of where the company is headquartered in the United States, or even outside the United States.
