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.

Reliable counsel for years

The first time I went to Jonathan Sack, I was pregnant and my employer was threatening to fire me. Jonathan wrote a letter to my employer on his letterhead, and that was the end of the threats; my job was saved. That was 12 years ago. Since then, he is my go to counsel for discrimination and other wo...rkplace issues. Each time I contact him, he responds to my request within a couple of hours, even on the weekends. He is a true professional, and his advice has saved my job (and my sanity) multiple times. I feel safe, and literally in good hands, knowing Jonathan Sack is taking care of me.

Outstanding Employment Attorney

I highly recommend you hire Jonathan Sack to handle any challenging legal issues you may face in the workplace. I sought Jonathan’s help on a severance agreement with a former employer following a traumatizing experience at work. Johnathan negotiated with the employer using the utmost discretion to o...btain the best settlement possible. Most importantly of all you can completely trust that he will place your best interests first when providing his legal advice.

Exceptional Employment Lawyer

Its never a pleasant situation if you need an employment lawyer but if you need one, Jonathan is your man. I have worked with him in two instances. He is very realistic and upfront about a case, which makes the process very efficient and once he is on-board with your case, he is the ferocious advocat...e you want in your court. On both occasions, Jonathan secured a superior outcome for me with my employers (investment banks).

Employment and severance star

I had problems with a big name, Private Equity-backed form in the fminsurance space and Jonathan dug in to understand why had happened. He then predicted the outcome including timing and did everything he said he would do. Worked hard and professionally for me. Result was exactly as predicted up fron...t.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
