FINRA, JAMS and AAA arbitrations are more common now that most employers require employees to consent to adjudicate employment disputes in confidential arbitration forums. We regularly handle client disputes and look forward to handling litigations.

We negotiate / mediate client matters, and when a fair result cannot be obtained, we litigate cases involving non-competes, trade secrets, bonus and deferred compensation, discrimination and wrongful termination in all courts and arbitration forums.

Discrimination 10%

We handle discrimination cases asserting gender, national origin, race, skin color, age, religion, familial status, disability, retaliation or sexual orientation. You are protected by City, State and Federal Laws. I was a mediator for the EEOC.

Expungement 5%

We routinely handle the negotiation of U-5s, and we file FINRA Arbitrations to expunge a negative, defamatory, incomplete or false U-5 filing. The U-5 is a minefield, often branding employees as bad actors, impairing one's re-employment prospects.

CSO

Jonathan has provided terrific consultation and assistance to me over the past 6 years with a couple career moves. He operates at the goal level and his employee law experience is phenomenal. He helped me visualize the impact of my contract years down the road, and assisted me in landing a few senior... executive positions.

Posted by Lena | April 16, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Client

I am a woman in the financial industry with decades of experience, a stellar reputation who was wrongfully terminated. I hired my lawyer, Jonathan Sack, to represent me in a mediation with this employer and it is my pleasure to write this review. Jonathan Sack and his team's ability to combat a for...midable opponent was astounding. I cannot imagine there is any firm better equipped to accomplish what he did for me. His professionalism enabled him to fight on the level of the opponent without compromising his ethics. His integrity through all of this never wavered from being a perfect example of knowing precisely the difference between right and wrong. Despite the challenges of having to deal with some difficult opponents, Jonathan's character as a human being is amazing and he takes tremendous pride in what he does. In my case, he rose above and beyond the call of duty to achieve the best possible outcome. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Jonathan Sack to anyone, particularly if it involves a woman who finds herself in an unfair and unjust predicament that has nothing to do with her competency as an employee but instead, her gender.

Partner

I had been referred to Jonathan by a past client of his and after our first phone call I could tell that he was very skilled at both employment negotiation but also the behavioral, emotional side of understanding all the stakeholders motivations/needs. Jonathan gave clear, helpful, strategic advic...e and was very commercial in getting me what I wanted out of the separation. I would have no hesitation about suggesting that other friends and professional colleagues seek Jonathan's help when leaving an employer.

Managing Director

I worked at a finance firm and had heard good things about Jonathan over the years. When I needed help with my career change decision, he was the first person to come to my mind. And he has helped make the process as smooth as possible, with his expert advices and experiences, he helped me make the r...ight decisions and obtain best possible outcome. Highly recommended!

Excellent and super effective

I have consulted with Jonathan several times over the last 20 years about various career-related challenges. He helped me turn difficult situations around in my favor, sometimes with as little as a short letter or email. In every case his advice and suggested course of action were highly effective. H...e is extremely knowledgeable about employment law and is very dedicated to his clients. Every time I interacted with him made me wish I could find his equivalent in other fields of law. A truly excellent lawyer.
