WE ARE ENTREPRENEURS. Like many of you, we are entrepreneurs; we started our firm in one of the toughest business climates in decades and we are doing well.  We understand, firsthand, why our business clients, and their owners, need timely, focused and cost-effective solutions.

WE GRASP THE EMPLOYMENT LAW PICTURE FROM ALL ANGLES. In the employment arena, we have managed workplace dynamics and disputes from all sides. As managers in our careers, we possess collectively more than 100 years of experience coaching employees.  We help businesses avoid litigation, protect themselves from unfair competition, aggressively litigate when necessary and train managers and employees on appropriate workplace behavior and effective conflict resolution.  We also help individuals assert their rights in the workplace, negotiate contracts on the way in or severance on the way out of a job, and litigate when necessary.  Last, but not least, we help both sides of the employment relationship as neutral investigators, with one-on-one boundary coaching or mediations.

We invite you to get to know more about us and our many practice areas and hopefully decide to allow us to help you with your legal concerns.
