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.

Provided a boost to my confidence at a trying time in my career

Jonathan was recommended to me in the midst of a crisis in my career and provided me with the confident coaching I needed to effectively negotiate a generous exit package with my employer. While he was eager to negotiate on my behalf, he respected my desire to first attempt negotiating on my own wit...h his guidance and it worked. If you are facing an unfamiliar uphill battle with your employer, I highly recommend getting Jonathan behind you to ensure you are educated on what is reasonable to demand and feasible to achieve.

Very constructive, focused and helpful consultation

In 10 minutes, Jonathan was able to answer legal questions that had been nagging me for weeks about terms of my separation agreement. He understands the legal and human aspects of employment law and is very practical about nuances in agreements. If I had a bigger issue, I would absolutely go back t...o him. Highly recommend him.

Outstanding employment attorney

Jonathan represented me when I was let go from my employer. He has excellent knowledge of legal nuances and helped me negotiate favorable settlement terms. Jonathan is very smart, professional, confident while at the same time compassionate and wants to get to a fair answer. He helped guide me throu...gh the process and made it as painless as possible. You will not regret hiring him!

Excellent Employee Lawyer

Jonathan is an excellent employment lawyer with much experience. Jonathan expertly guides you through the process of seeking a fair and equitable settlement from your employer when you have been let go. He has your back and advocates on your behalf. I am very satisfied with the resolution and I th...ank Jonathan.

sage advice, provides clarity and confidence

Jonathan Sack is a life saver! He provided me with a great degree of clarity and confidence as I start the next chapter in my life and career. Employment law is exhausting stuff because it typically dramatically affects real lives, and it can be hard to separate out the emotion from the objective f...acts. Aside from family problems, there can be nothing more disruptive than job changes. Jonathan responded to my urgent pleas for help on a Saturday afternoon and evening.
