Outside Employment Counsel
Companies need employment advice that fits the business and arrives in time to inform the decision. I work directly with founders, HR leaders and legal departments on day-to-day questions and sensitive workforce matters.
A dedicated employment resource
For companies without an in-house employment lawyer, I provide the employment function: guidance to HR and leadership, an escalation path for sensitive matters and continuity as the business grows. For companies with a legal department, I serve alongside the team as outside employment counsel.
Workforce decisions and ongoing advice
My work includes employment policies, pay and incentive design, worker classification, workforce structure and sensitive personnel decisions. Advice is grounded in the company’s operations and the legal and reputational implications of the proposed approach.
An ongoing relationship
Standing counsel engagements are available on a monthly retainer. Discrete matters may be handled on flat or capped fees. The initial conversation helps identify the scope, expected cadence and appropriate arrangement.
Based in New York. Matters involving other jurisdictions are coordinated with local counsel where needed.
