Where there are potential conflicts, often we conduct such representation as part of the team of counsel representing the employer and its staff.CONTRACTS - DRAFT, REVIEW, NEGOTIATEOur work for clients has covered commercial leases, executive severance agreements, and employment agreements.We draft and review drafts of contracts mindful of covering issues that could lead to costly litigation.
