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.

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!

Exceptional legal advocacy

Jonathan has successfully defended my interests and provided me outstanding guidance on a number of employment matters. His 30+ years in the industry, direct approach and professional demeanor make him an excellent advocate for anyone seeking legal assistance related to employee issues. I unreservedl...y recommend Jonathan.

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).

Fast and efficient

Jonathan helped me settle with my previous employer. He was fast, direct and efficient. From what I saw his experience in my field of work allowed him to settle my case as smoothly as possible. His compensation structure was also something that helped me to go into the negotiation process. I have al...ready recommended him to my friends who are seeking legal advice and will continue to do so.

Highly Recommend

Jonathan represented me in a very long process that required a lot of patience to get the best outcome. It was frustrating many times how long things were taking and the process but at the end of the day Jonathan had the play book. We not only got a tremendous result but he knew how to navigate eve...ry aspect especially when it came to the end. Put mildly you wouldn't want to be on the other side of the table.

  • 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.
