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.

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.

Account Manager

I consulted Jonathan Sack about a severance letter I received from my employer, which recently reduced staff. I did not know IF I had a case to negotiate more severance benefits but Jonathan guided me to ask the right questions. Turns out I did not have a case other good performance reviews, which ...Jonathan pointed out, can be a basis for a potential renegotiation. I really appreciated Jonathan's direct, thoughtful and ethical approach to my situation. I highly recommend him.

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.

Jonathan was referred to me by two friends, independently and i see why. He is the epitome of helpful, responsive and efficient. Jonathan was able to guide me on an employment matter in short order, was generous with his time and expertise. After our conversations, i felt confident moving forward wit...h the matter and Jonathan continued the same way throughout the process. You are in great hands with Jonathan Sack!

Posted by anonymous | August 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Immediately (within 10 minutes) fixed a very serious issue for me!

I was put in touch with Jonathan after my previous firm threatened me with legal action regarding a contract policy. Jonathan immediately jumped on the case and had an email prepared within minutes to address the firm's issues. His email was clear, concise, and got the message across. He believed the... firm had no legal leg to stand on. My former firm called Jonathan within 5 minutes and agreed to drop the threat. By the end of the conversation it was very collegial and peace prevailed. I would recommend Jonathan for ANY employment related issues. He is extremely interactive and resolves issues quickly and quietly. Thank you Jonathan!

Posted by Heather | May 12, 2018 | Divorce & Separation

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.
