Practice Areas

Employment and Labor 50%

We consult with, advise and represent employees and executives in all facets of their employment. Offer letter / contract negotiations, on-the-job counseling, severance negotiations, non-compete and IP issues, whistleblower retaliation & litigation.

37 years | 5,000 cases

50%
Arbitration 20%

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.

37 years | 200 cases

20%
Litigation 15%

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.

37 years | 400 cases

15%
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.

37 years | 500 cases

10%
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.

Senior Level Ecommerce Executive

Jonathan extricated me from a burdensome non-compete that my former employer was standing firm to hold me to. I am a single parent with two children in college, this situation was threatening my ability to support my family, not only did Jonathan not charge me a fee, he managed to negotiate a GREATLY... reduced non-compete period. I was very impressed by how my former and present employers, both major global organizations, respected Jonathan, followed his lead, and came to an extremely fair agreement orchestrated by him.

Highly intelligent, gifted, first-rate, consummate, brilliant....

These are some of the words that come to mind when describing Jonathan Sack. You do not need to search for anyone else, and I can not stress that enough. Personally, I feel we live in a great world. Unfortunately, it is not without bad people and bad employers, but if there were no bad people or b...ad employers, we wouldn’t need AMAZING attorneys. I was referred to Jonathan Sack due to a retaliation claim with a large banking/investment firm. He was able to exit me with a very generous severance, something I would never have been able to achieve on my own. He handled the entire situation swiftly and decisively. He knew what was happening before it actually happened. His understanding of employment law, and his ability to put words to paper is uncanny and persuasively intimidating. This man protected my income, future, reputation, and most importantly, my life. His work ethic, vernacular and passion for what he does could restore any persons hope in law and even humanity. He genuinely cares, and this became more evident as our relationship progressed. If something, anything with your current employer seems unfair, or unjust, do yourself a favor, call him. Companies should be held accountable and there is no one better then Jonathan Sack. Truly Thankful.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
