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.

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.

Excellent attorney

Jonathan is a top notch, action oriented, responsive attorney. During the separation with my employer, not only did he provide insightful advice, he really listened to figure out what his main argument points would be and then executed on getting the best deal possible. I would highly recommend Jonat...han as he is in the client’s corner every step of the way, using his strong track record and experience to get the best possible outcome.

Family Office

Jonathan is an very intelligent and attentive attorney. He will fight for you until everything is made right. After years I still have issues that arise from my matter and he continues to address them in a timely manner. I have recommended him to fellow colleagues and will continue to recommend h...im.

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.

  • 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.
