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.

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.

Best there is

Jonathan really listened to me from Day 1; and he and his team provided amazing guidance throughout my entire process. He was always available, no question of mine was too small, and he gave me so much hope during a very difficult time. His entire team is fantastic and made sure that I was comfortab...le the whole way through. I would recommend Jonathan 100 times over.

Mr. Sack was at all times forthright, direct and concerned about my case. I was laid off due to Covid 19 and Mr. Sack negotiated with the Human Resources Department at my institution for a greater severance. While this was ultimately unsuccessful I have the utmost faith in Mr. Sack for his knowledgea...ble and realistic approach to my situation. I consider my association with Mr. Sack a success and I would hire him again and I recommend him highly.

Incredibly Helpful

I had the pleasure of consulting with Mr. Sack regarding a tough employment issue. He was kind enough to listen to my situation in detail and fully explain to me the legalities and all of my options. Even though my case could not be brought to litigation, Mr. Sack advised me on how to proceed. I h...ighly recommend anybody that needs assistance in the area of employment law to seek counsel with Mr. Sack. He is very personable, truly eager to help people and clearly knows the law and will do what he can to get you what you deserve. I can’t thank him enough for his help.

Incredible Support

Although i was located in a country with 7 hour time difference, and contacted Jonathan just before Christmas, he was extraordinarily efficient and available to me at all times. Even through the holidays, whilst he travelled with his family, we spoke and mailed regularly. His ability to combine empa...thy and reassurance with laser sharp diagnosis and forceful strategy made me feel both heard, and secure in the knowledge that we were following the best route in an extremely stressful situation. The case was resolved within just a couple of weeks and I can't recommend Jonathan highly enough for his experience, professionalism, commitment and formidable performance.

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.
