Taneen Jafarkhani

Taneen is our go to attorney on employment matters. She has helped us with everything from classification, employee disputes, performance issues, and termination. Each time I work with her I am impressed by her work. She consistently works to understand the issue in full and then provides thoughtful ...and direct advice, recognizing the complexity of the situation and matters including people. She is a trusted support and a lawyer that I am continually grateful to be able to work with.

I was referred to Taneen from my primary business attorney as an Employment specialist. She was able to review my situation and provide guidance swiftly. We worked together to creatively solve a business challenge, and she was a resourceful and informed advisor for this - a rare and valued skill. The... overall project did take longer than expected and as a result the cost was higher than anticipated. But overall, I am happy with the result and will be working with Taneen on another employment project to sure up my business processes and systems!

I reached out to Taneen on a Sunday re a complex contract I received from my employer. She immediately responded and was attentive to the situation. She not only provided a macro view of the situation and what’s at stake but also a micro view. She helped with drafting some of the provisions and I fel...t much more at ease after speaking with her and having her assistance. Her expertise in employment law is apparent and I look forward to using her skill sets in the future. Thank you Taneen!

I was referred to Taneen by a friend who spoke very highly of her and she didn’t disappoint. I needed help with a contract issue, which for me was quite confusing and emotionally charged. Taneen brought clarity to the situation and clearly laid out my options and explained in detail how the process w...ould work depending on what option I chose. She was also incredibly warm and I could sense the passion she feels for her work. I would definitely recommend her.

After experiencing a lot of corporate workplace trauma, one of the scariest things about starting my own business and serving as CEO was HR - more specifically, the pressure I placed on myself/the company to get our culture right and ensure our ducks were in a row so our future employees wouldn't hav...e to face what I have in the past. I've consulted with Taneen twice now - once right when we incorporated and again today when we reached a growth point to bring on independent contractors - and always what stands out to me each and every time is how cared for, listened to, and hopeful I feel after each conversation. She reminds me that HR and employment laws are ultimately about taking care of PEOPLE and that when it's done right, that's a beautiful relationship between the employer and employee that has profound effects on the business and company mission. So often, the law and ensuing legalese can make everyday folks trying to make good decisions feel intimidated, inadequate, and fearful. Taneen is masterful at popping that pressure bubble from the get go, building a real relationship with everyone she connects with, and ensuring people feel empowered in their actions. Her ability to recall labor and employment law across state lines demonstrates her expertise paired with her friendly personality and passion for demystifying the law creates such a safe and supportive environment for me to navigate my next steps with confidence. Last but not least, I cannot say how significant it is that Taneen operates at the intersection of a trained lawyer and experienced Head of People/HR lead. This vantage point really shows in her ability to offer support and foresight of things to be on the lookout for from the employer POV. I can't wait til we hit our next company milestone to expand our team so we can work with Taneen again!!
