David Sohn

I valued David's approach to resolve a complex misclassification issue at the partner level in a growth-stage venture capital firm. His calm and steady approach contrasted with the aggressive style of other lawyers. Through diplomatic skill and careful listening, he managed a high-stakes and emotiona...l dispute, keeping the law as the focus. David’s clear-headed focus and dedication to fairness secured a settlement avoiding litigation, proving his expertise far more effective.

Our non-profit board worked with David on a contentious resignation of our executive director. He was very responsive, understood the issues quickly, provided solid legal advice, and helped to draft and negotiate the severance agreement, which resolved the issue without any additional drama. Very e...asy to work with and if we ever have another employment issue, we would definitely work with David again.

I had an urgent employment/separation situation, and a Harvard alum referred David. David immediately responded and answered all my questions extremely professionally and thoughtfully. He's also very transparent about his experience and potential conflicts. I'm truly grateful for David's help, in par...ticular on such short notice. I highly recommend David to anyone who's looking for attorney in this field.

[I am posting anonymously to not track this back to my employer] I work at a well-known big tech company based in the Valley, and one that has been in the news often of many reasons (both good and bad). After I started feeling tension in my team and worried about the risk of a potential retaliation,... I was connected with David through the referral of a trusted friend in big law. From the start, David was so personable and made me feel safe to share my concerns. He provided on pointe advice for my circumstances, and eventually guided me through several conversations and processes to protect my employment status and ensure I receive the proper severance package should I be laid off. I have always been hesitant to contact an external party about internal work matters, but working with David was such a trustworthy and secure experience that I ultimately recommended him to my other colleagues facing similar issues. I am being quite vague about my actual work with him as to not disclose too many details, but on aggregate, David cares immensely about people's employee protections and offers strong and thorough advice on how to properly navigate the complexities of the matters. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services, and will turn to him in the future should I need his counsel again.

David was responsive, kind, and supportive in a very challenging experience for me navigating a separation agreement. He was both highly professional and effective, ensuring protections I would have not thought to ask for but which made me feel protected and whole in moving on. He also kept the fees ...reasonable and was transparent in that process. I highly recommend him to anyone needing to navigate their rights as an employee and am so grateful he was referred by a friend.
