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.

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.

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.

Highly Recommended

Jonathan Sack helped negotiate a non-compete. He worked tirelessly, was easy to get in touch with, and helped diligently throughout the process. Highly recommended.

Incredible!

Came to John with an employment contract that should’ve been used to wrap fish or start a fire. My employer had a permanent seat on the 9th ring of Dante’s hell . Jon and his team were outstanding. Always optimistic , supportive and very clear in managing my expectations. Made you feel like family . ...And at the end there was victory

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.

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.
