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.

Tough as nails

Jonathan is a no nonsense, aggressive attorney. He will tell it to you straight even if it’s not what you want to hear but it’s the reality and he knows from years of experience. Jonathan’s tone can be abrupt and to the point, there is no mincing words with him, but you can rest assured, it’s this sa...me attitude he goes to battle with for you. At the end of the day he fights for the rights of the employee and is unwavering in this pursuit. I’ve hired Jonathan twice and been met with positive outcomes both times.

Account Manager

I consulted Jonathan Sack about a severance letter I received from my employer, which recently reduced staff. I did not know IF I had a case to negotiate more severance benefits but Jonathan guided me to ask the right questions. Turns out I did not have a case other good performance reviews, which ...Jonathan pointed out, can be a basis for a potential renegotiation. I really appreciated Jonathan's direct, thoughtful and ethical approach to my situation. I highly recommend him.

Managing Director

Jonathan is an outstanding lawyer. He really cared about my situation, spent a lot of time assisting me in negotiating my severance package and is super responsive. I will be using him going forward through the rest of my career.

Director

Jonathan Sack has been on my side protecting my interest and my family's interest throughout my wall street career for the last 25+ years. In numerous occasions Jonathan has constantly delivered for me on improved employment offers, higher employment severance packages and shorter non compete negoti...ations. I appreciate Jonathan for always being a straight shooter and telling it like it is with zero embellishments. In addition, he responds to any of my concerns immediately and has done so on weekends and on holidays. Even during the current corona virus pandemic, Jonathan's consultation and assessment help secure my latest position with additional comfort. If you are looking for a litigator who will relentlessly fight for you, look no further, your search has ended, reach out to Jonathan Sack.
